251

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the Centre to give clearance for his visit to Singapore for the “World Cities’ Summit”. “It is against the interest of the country to stop a Chief Minister from visiting such an important stage… This invitation is a matter of pride and honor for the country,” he wrote

“The invitation is a matter of pride for the country. Blocking a chief minister from attending such an event is against the interests of the country. Kindly grant permission as soon as possible so that I can make the nation proud during the event,” Kejriwal appealed to the prime minister. The chief minister’s proposed trip to Singapore to participate in the World Cities Summit is another point of tussle between his government and the Centre.

On June 1, Kejriwal had tweeted about him being invited to Singapore to present his ‘Delhi Model’.
