Wednesday, 7 January 2015



West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has accepted an invitation from Sheikh Hasina's government to participate in the International Mother Language Day celebrations in Dhaka on February 21, reports bdnews24.com.
Bangladesh deputy high commissioner Zokey Ahad said on Tuesday that he called on Banerjee's office on Monday to hand over the written invitation from Bangladesh foreign minister AH Mahmood Ali.
Mamata readily agreed to be the guest of honour, Mr Ahad said.
In September 2011 she dropped out of a delegation headed by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Dhaka to sign treaties on Teesta water sharing and exchange of enclaves, says the 'Times of India'.
