Addressing the Indian Economic Association centenary conference in Amravati, President Kovind expressed his dissatisfaction with the disturbance and asked the organisers to continue the distribution after his speech. I think some food packets are being distributed. Therefore, I request the organisers, will you please keep the distribution of food packets in abeyance for a little while,” Kovind said after he was disturbed by a group of students who were creating a chaos in the hurry to grab the food packets. President Kovind then continued with his speech while officials and police personnel tried to control the situation.
