Prez Kovind attends award functions for 1hr max: Prez office
After calling I&B Ministry's handling of the National Film Awards "a breach of faith", the Rashtrapati Bhavan said, "President (Ram Nath Kovind) attends all award functions...for a maximum of one hour." The office also said that the ministry knew about this protocol for weeks and still gave an impression that it was a last-minute decision by the President.
