Pakistan, Bangladesh invited to 'undivided India' seminar, Islamabad confirms participation
New Delhi/IBNS: India has invited Pakistan and Bangladesh, among other neighbouring countries to participate in an 'undivided India' seminar that is being organised to commemorate 150 years of the India Meteorological Department, said reports.
The Indian government has taken up the initiative to keep differences aside and celebrate the shared history of the subcontinent in unison.
The Narendra Modi government has sent invitations to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Maldives, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. Besides the subcontinent, invitations have been sent to officials from the Middle East, central and Southwest Asia too.
While Pakistan has confirmed its participation, a confirmation from Bangladesh is still awaited, media reports said.
Various ministries in the Indian government have contributed to making the event memorable.
While the Finance Ministry has decided to release a special and limited-edition Rs 150 commemorative coin to mark the special occasion, the Home Ministry has given clearance for a special tableau on Republic Day marking the weather department's 150 years.
