New Delhi, Nov 13 (IBNS): Congress President Sonia Gandhi invited West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and her Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar to attend an international conference in Delhi to mark the 125th birth anniversary of India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not invited in the event.

According to media reports, Congress invited almost all political parties including AIADMK leader Jayalalithaa, Samajwadi Party's Mulayam Singh Yadav and the Left parties, barring the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies.

Earlier, Sonia Gandhi and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh did not attend the oath-taking ceremony for 21 new ministers that took place on Sunday.

“We have invited all like-minded political parties,” senior Congress leader Anand Sharma said.

Sources said PM Modi will not be in the country on the day as he is now on a 10-day tour to Myanmar, Australia and Fiji.
