PM Modi Briefs President: A Contrast in Leadership
After returning from trips to China and Japan, Prime Minister Modi met with President Murmu to share details.
This is a tradition, showing respect for the President's role.
This is different from what happened with former PM Rajiv Gandhi and President Zail Singh.
Back then, there were disagreements, which caused political problems.
Modi’s actions now show he respects the President and follows the rules.
PM Modi briefed President Murmu after foreign visits, upholding protocol.
The briefing followed a visit to China for the SCO summit.
This contrasts with Rajiv Gandhi's time, when such briefings were skipped.
Skipping the briefings created issues between Gandhi and Zail Singh.
Modi's actions are seen as a reaffirmation of democratic values.
