Vice President Dhankhar and his wife will represent India at the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla at Westminster Abbey. He will join a gathering of about 2,000 dignitaries, including heads of states and governments, at the ceremony and fly back to India soon after the event.

Addressing the Indian community on Friday night, Dhankhar said, “Every one of you has to be a 24×7 ambassador of Bharat… India is now the hub of manufacturing activity for the globe. I would therefore appeal to all of you, in whatever manner you can contribute to the growth of the nation, for the rise in its reputation and to ensure that untenable, ill-premised, unfounded, baseless narratives do not take strides in the public domain.”
