    No G20 dinner invite for Kharge from President Murmu: Reports

    What's the story

    Congress President and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge has reportedly not been invited to the special G20 dinner that will be hosted by President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday.

    According to the news agency IANS, sources in the Congress leader's office claimed that he had not been invited to the dinner as of Friday morning.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    This is not the only controversy surrounding the president's dinner invitation. Earlier this week, a row emerged after the Rashtrapati Bhavan's official dinner invite to foreign leaders and chief ministers reportedly read "President of Bharat" instead of "President of India."

    The development fanned speculation that the country's name could be permanently changed to "Bharat."

    Notably, Delhi is hosting the highly anticipated G20 Summit this week on Saturday and Sunday at the ITPO Convention Centre's Bharat Mandapam.
