Yes, my mother Pratibha Singh, who is a Member of Parliament, has also received the invitation. I have decided that I will go there. I have said that as a Hindu it is one.” It is a proud moment for me that I am among the 6,000 people invited from across the country. I will be present there on this historic day,” Singh further said.
