The President is the first citizen of the country, his/her security is the country's priority. The guards deployed for his security take great care of this. At the same time, receiving an award from the President is a matter of great pride. When the President honors anyone, no matter who you are, you have to follow the protocol. Even if you want, you cannot shake hands with the President for a shake hand or touch his/her feet. Let's know why it is so.
Why can't we shake hands with the President?
Whenever you have to receive any honor from the President, you are called there a day before. Whenever the President gives you an award, you just have to greet him/her, you cannot shake hands. This is a security protocol. Whether you are an artist or anyone else, you have to follow the President's security protocol.
Is shaking hands with the President a violation of protocol?
Now the question is also whether touching the President's feet or touching him is a violation of protocol? So the answer is yes. Touching the President, shaking hands with him/her and touching feet is against the security protocol. The security of the President is India's top priority. The President is the first citizen of the country and the security is of paramount importance for the country. There is a tight security ring around the President, which everyone has to follow.
Protocol for meeting the President
There is a protocol for meeting the President, not everyone can meet him/her just like that. Neither can one shake hands with him nor touch his/her feet. The President is the constitutional head in india and it is necessary to follow a greeting protocol to meet him. He can be greeted by joining hands and bowing slightly. Touching the feet by any person, any government employee or officer comes under the category of indiscipline and is a violation of the code of conduct.
