Prime Minister Narendra Modi noticed Indian Tricolour on the ground during the group photo at BRICS, picked it up and kept it with him to make sure no one stepped on it.
Each leader’s place was marked with the country’s flag to denote their standing position. PM Modi showed immense support for the Tricolour when he picked it up and kept it.
However, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa already stepped on his flag but after observing PM Modi, he also followed him.
The BRICS leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, arrived at the Sandton Convention Centre to attend the plenary sessions.
Prior to attending the sessions, the leaders posed for a BRICS family photograph.
Significantly, PM Modi and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping were seen standing apart from each other as South African President Cyril Ramaphosa held their hands together. (ANI)
