Narwekar gave the clarification to the Assembly after BJP MLA Ashish Shelar raised the issue of Deputy Chairman of Legislative Council Neelam Gorhes remarks in the Council on Thursday, stating she was unhappy about not being invited to a cultural programme in the legislature premises, and that the onus of it rested with Narvekar, who did not extend the invitation to her..
