Mamata on India's outreach mission: 'Let the request come directly to party'

Kolkata, May 19 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Monday reiterated that she was ready to depute the party's representative to the 'Operation Sindoor' outreach mission to various nations, "if the request for such a programme comes to us directly."

We are totally in favour of the country's best interests," Banerjee told reporters at Dum Dum Airport.
