Washington. Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 47th President of America. A grand ceremony was also held at the Capitol Rotunda on Monday, in which guests from other countries including India had arrived. The special thing is that Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, representing India, was given a place in the first row. Now some videos are being shared on social media claiming that he was asked to go to the back. Let’s know the truth.

Several ex-users including Samajwadi Party leader Yasser Shah posted a video. With this video of about 35 seconds, it was written, ‘Jaishankar was asked to stand in the back row in the presidential program and he refused. How much more will he embarrass the world’s largest democracy.’ Apart from him, many users also shared videos.

JCCIC seen in a corner of the video stands for Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies. The full video of the ceremony is available on its official website (https://www.inaugural.senate.gov/live/). This video posted through YouTube channel is 7 hours 40 minutes 55 seconds long.

From the year 1901 till now and according to the 20th Amendment of the US Constitution, the responsibility of the inauguration ceremony of the elected President and the Vice President-elect in the Capitol rests with the JCCIC. The committee was the first to plan the swearing-in ceremony of President William McKinley.
