BRICS Summit: PM Modi notices tricolour on floor; he then does this

By IBNS

Johannesburg: Prime Minister Narendra Modi noticed a tricolour on the ground as he was getting on the stage for a BRICS group photo with South Africa’s President Ramaphosa. He immediately picked up the tricolour and kept it in his pocket so that no one stepped on it.


PM and other BRICS leaders had arrived at the Sandton Convention Centre to attend the plenary session of the summit.

Ahead of the session, the leaders stood together for the BRICS group photo.

Each leader’s position was marked with their respective country’s flag. However, instead of just continuing with the photo ceremony, Modi picked up the tricolour from the floor.

In the meantime, the South African president had already stepped on a flag but immediately picked it up noticing PM Modi’s act. He then handed over to a person, apparently an event marshal, and also indicated to PM Modi to do the same. However, Modi politely refused to hand over the tricolour and kept it with himself.
