Leaders from the Opposition and ruling NDA have been exchanging their views in this regard from the moment the invite went viral. In addition to that, another image has also surfaced today adding more fire to the fire that mentioned “Prime Minister of Bharat”, an itinerary by Indonasian government for Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is scheduled to attend the 20th ASEAN-India Summit and the 18th East Asia Summit (EAS) in Jakarta tomorrow.
