New Delhi: After the spectacular parade of the 70th Republic Day of India on Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi broke security protocol to walk up to the crowds to greet them.
PM Modi, dressed in a traditional kurta, pyjama and jacket and sporting a yellow and red turban, walked the length of the VIP enclosure, waving to the crowds with people chanting Modi…Modi.
PM Modi started his walk with his securitymen after seeing off the Chief Guest, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and President Ram Nath Kovind.
