Congress leader Rashid Alvi on Wednesday said that the party has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the international conference being held to commemorate the 125th birth anniversary of the country's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, as it only wants to invite 'like-minded' people.

"It is a Congress party program, and we will only invite like minded people," said Alvi.

The international conference, which is to take place from November 17-18, will be attended by leaders of various political parties from India and abroad.

Earlier, party leader Anand Sharma had announced that the conference will discuss Nehru's view on democracy, inclusion, empowering India and representative global order.

The conference will be chaired by Party President Sonia Gandhi and Vice-president Rahul Gandhi will lead the party delegation
