Merkel ignores Modi's handshake, proposes better background
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was seen ignoring Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's handshake, in an incident similar to one that happened in 2015. In both the instances, Modi can be seen extending his hand after their address, and Merkel is seen ignoring his handshake and signalling him towards the countries' flags. However, the two shake hands after reaching the spot.
