West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday (8 September) slammed India for not inviting her to be a part of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's current visit.
"I share an excellent relationship with Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina but India did not invite me to be a part of her visit," she said while addressing a special session of the Trinamool Congress, reports Times of India.
"I don't want to talk about external affairs or bilateral ties. But, I have noticed India tries to stop me whenever I am invited to any foreign country. I want to know why the Union government is so worried about me meeting foreign dignitaries," said Banerjee.
