For Narendra Modis Swearing-In, BJP Keen to Invite Nawaz Sharif, other leaders New Delhi: Prime Minister-elect Narendra Modi is reportedly keen to invite heads of state of neighbouring countries in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation or SAARC for his oath-taking ceremony on Monday, May 26. This would include Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Modi reportedly conveyed this to President Pranab Mukherjee when he met him yesterday and the ministry of external affairs is now examining the proposal, the sources said. There is no recent precedent for inviting foreign heads of state when an Indian prime minister has been sworn in. SAARC nations include Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan and the invitation would send out a strong signal of a neighbour-friendly new government.
