August 09, 2016 21:22

Setting aside the security protocol, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today stopped his cavalcade of vehicles to accept the welcome offered by members of local Bohra community during his visit to Bhabhra in Madhya Pradesh.

When Modi was on way to the memorial of legendary Chandrashekar Azad, who was born in Bhabhra, a large number of people lined the road to catch a glimpse of the prime minister.

When some of them waved at him, Modi asked the driver to stop and got down from the car.

They offered him a shawl which he readily accepted.

Modi is the first Prime Minister to visit Bhabhra.
