In a post on X, Shrinate asked why the newspaper deleted the report and accused the prime minister of making young people bow before political leaders. The original Telegraph India report said students faced extensive security arrangements for Modi's visit and received specific instructions on bowing during medal distribution. Shrinate's comments have sparked a political row, with the BJP yet to respond officially. ## Coverage - nationalheraldindia.com Tags: convocation protocol, IIT Delhi, Narendra Modi, political controversy, Supriya Shrinate, The Telegraph Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/shrinate-slams-modi-over-iit-delhi-bowing-report-deletion/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
