There are reports that due to Dhankhar, it was also said that he expects a protocol equal to the President during foreign visits.
According to the Economic Times report, the protocol that he considered right, due to the emphasis on it, also caused disagreement with the authorities. Sources have been quoted as saying that from the hotel rooms to the aircraft, Dhankhar allegedly felt that they were not being respected according to their height.
The report mentions his Tehran Yatra while attending the funeral of Iran’s President Ibrahim RaiC. It said that Dhankar had objected to the hotel room found by him. Dhankhar believed that the Indian embassy in Iran had to give room according to his stature. The special thing is that the mission had made it clear that the living arrangements have been made by the host government.
According to the report, during that journey, Dhankhar had objected to the aircraft. He said that the big aircraft would have been more appropriate for the Vice President. Many times Dhankhar has told that he expects a protocol like President during his foreign trip. Sources told the newspaper that they have been told that the Presidents of small countries are also ahead of the Vice President of India in terms of protocol.
Angered on photo
According to the report, according to a recent program, Dhankhar had said, ‘You must have seen the photo of the President and the Prime Minister, but not of the Vice President. When I leave the office, I will make sure that my successor has a photo.
