Maharashtra Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray was, on Tuesday, told to get out of his father Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's car, by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security.
According to media reports, the Special Protection Group (SPG) did this as Aaditya's name was not in the list of VIPs who were scheduled to receive the prime minister in Mumbai.
The chief minister intervened and told the SPG personnel that Aaditya is not just his son, but also cabinet minister, and so he could receive the PM as per protocol.
Following this, Aaditya was allowed to be part of the dignitaries present to welcome PM Modi.
Modi inaugurated the Jal Bhushan Building and Gallery of Revolutionaries at Raj Bhawan in Mumbai on Tuesday in the presence of Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari and CM Thackrey.
