President Patil mobbed by admirers in Brazil

Today I was surprised to see this headline in one of India’s premier websites wwow.rediff.com.The news item states that President of India was mobbed by admirers in Brazil . I was quite surprised as given her unpopularity in India who would be willing to take photos with her.It(report) also adds

“n no time, the entire hall at a five-star hotel saw people queuing up for the photo-op, taking her security personnel by surprise.

After nearly 30 minutes, the organisers, unable to cope up with the rush, decided to end the impromptu event. The President was quickly escorted out of the room.”

My first question is who were the audience whether it was Indians?

Forgot about my question see here http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/apr/14sao.htm

You would laugh all the day…
