Prime Minister Narendra Modi was embarrassingly pulled back by a Russian official when he walked past the guard of honor while the Indian national anthem was being played.
Modi’s visit to Russia began on sad note as soon after his arrival in the Russian capital Moscow, this fiasco happened, which caused huge embarrassment to Modi and India. Modi is in Russia to attend India-Russia annual summit.
Soon after realizing the breach of protocol, a Russian official came running and pulled the hand of Prime Minister. In fact, soon after the Prime Minister stepped onto the red carpet, a Russian official made a gesture with his hand which was misinterpreted by Modi to go forward so he started walking. But another official soon stopped him and asked to step back in attention.
One should stand in attention when the national anthem is being played.
