'Indira Gandhi invited NTR to Sriharikota': Congress slams PM over protocol row

Amid a protocol row, Congress recalled how former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had invited former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister NT Rama Rao to Sriharikota after the successful launch of the SLV-3-D2 in 1983, despite them being bitter political rivals.

The remarks came after Congress alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi purportedly barred Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister Shivakumar from receiving him at the HAL Airport during his visit over the weekend.
