West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar, who had been locked in a war of words with the TMC government on various issues, on Saturday said he will attend Kali puja at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's residence Sunday on her invitation.
The governor said he was "eagerly" waiting to be a part of the celebrations at CM's Kalighat residence.
He said when he meets Banerjee Sunday he will request her to include him in spreading communal harmony which she has been doing for the past 30 years at her residence on the occasion of 'Bhatridwitiya' or 'Bhai Dooj'.
Dhankhar likened communal harmony with the pitutary gland in a human body and said "if there is any problem then the body starts suffering."
While inaugurating a Kali puja in the heart of the city, the governor said "She (the cm) has also written that for the last 30 years she has been busy in works of communal harmony. I want to be part of Banerjee's communal harmony programme. I will request her tomorrow to include me in that."
