Seat belt off

On a visit to Mumbai earlier this week, Rajya Sabha MP and Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Sitaram Yechury told a gathering how Prime Minister Narendra Modi looked decidedly uncomfortable in his seat in the Lok Sabha recently. "We were told by a Bharatiya Janata Party MP that the PM was probably looking for a seat belt," Yechury chuckled, alluding to the many foreign tours the PM has undertaken since coming to power. While his audience had a good laugh, Yechury did not clarify if this was just a joke among the MPs or a "real" conversation.
