The same instance happened on last Sunday when PM Modi was being accorded a ceremonial welcome by Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena in Colombo. When the skies opened up, Sirisena was seen holding an umbrella and providing cover to himself and Modi. As per sources, the gesture of both the Presidents has reportedly left Modi deeply touched.
