"I, being the grandson of the erstwhile Royal Family, deserve an invite as the Palace is an important landmark both in our family’s history and also in the history of Hyderabad," he said in a statement.

Khan also said that despite communicating numerous times with the authorities of Niti Aayog, who are responsible for handling the event, over last 10 days, it induced no response from their side.
