Pune: Guests at PM Modi Event Told To Remove All Black Clothing Including Shirts

Security guards stationed at Pune's MIT College, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated several developmental projects on Sunday, 6 March, reportedly asked all the guests entering the venue to remove masks, socks, and even shirts if they were black, reported news agency PTI.

This was done to prevent any protest against the prime minister.

Speaking on the matter, Amitabh Gupta, the Police Commissioner of Pune, however, said that there must have been some confusion. He clarified that instructions had been given only "to not allow black flags and black pieces of cloth and not the clothing (itself)."
