Congress' decision not to invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi to an international conference to mark Jawaharlal Nehru's 125th birth anniversary reflects the party's narrow-mindedness and is a disrespect to the nation, the government and BJP said today.

"I think they (Congress) are very narrow minded. There is no politics in being narrow minded. Politics means it should include everybody," Minority Affairs Minister Najma Heptullah told reporters on the sidelines of an event.

"Modi is so large-hearted that he is supporting Nehru's birth anniversary (celebrations) despite the change of government. He is continuing to do that.
