West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday did not attend the centenary celebrations of the Visva-Bharati University in Shantiniketan. Her party Trinamool Congress claimed that she was not invited but the university said an official invitation was sent to her 20 days in advance. India Today TV has accessed the official invite that had been sent to Mamata Banerjee. While Banerjee did not attend the event, she did tweet about the development. “Visva Bharati University turns 100. This temple of learning was Rabindranath Tagore’s greatest experiment on creating the ideal human being. We must preserve the vision and philosophy of this great visionary,” she said.
