Two-day Nehru International Conference to conclude today
November 18, 2014
The Nehru International Conference, organised by the Indian National Congress to commemorate Jawaharlal Nehrus 125th Birth Anniversary, continues Tuesday.

On the second and last day of Nehru International Conference, a Conference Declaration will be adopted which will capture the essence of the deliberations and convey a message of global import.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has not been invited to the two-day meet, raising some eyebrows in the Bharatiya Janata Party.

The event held by Congress to resurrect Nehru's legacy at a trying time for the party saw the presence of leaders from many parties on Monday.

West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, Communist Party of India-Marxist leaders Prakash Karat and Sitaram Yechury and Janata Dal-United chief Sharad Yadav were among those present.

Many leaders of parties of undivided Janata Dal were there, but no senior Samajwadi Party leader was present.
