Indian groups of United Kingdom's two major political parties, the Conservative Party and the Labour Party, have invited Gujarat Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongman Narendra Modi to visit the country, reports said on Tuesday.
According to reports, inviting Modi to the House of Commons to speak on ‘The Future of Modern India', the Labour Friends of India chairman Barry Gardiner sent a letter to the BJP leader last week.
The Conservative Friends of India also invited Modi last week, in a rare show of political unity.
Ending Britain's diplomatic exclusion of Modi that was caused after the 2002 riots, the British High Commissioner to India James Bevan met him last year.
Bevan’s meeting with Modi was taken as a step to normalise Britain's relationship with Gujarat, a state where the state administration was blamed for much of the fallout of the 2002 riots.
He was denied a visa to visit UK in 2005.
