Draw up a list

Sir, — With the Deputy Prime Minister, L.K. Advani, calling up the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Jayalalithaa, and terming the failure to send an invitation to her for the swearing-in of the President, A.P.J. Kalam, as unfortunate, the controversy may come to an end now. But this incident and the controversy over the allocation of seats during the swearing-in ceremony of Ms. Jayalalithaa as the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister to the Leader of Opposition, Anbazhagan, and the then Chennai Mayor, M.K. Stalin, have raised a few questions.

These issues have been swept under the carpet by the powers that be. It is time Governments (be it at the Centre or the State) drew up a list of who is to be invited for such functions.
