This incident happened when Lal Bahadur Shastri was the prime minister of India. Though he was a PM , Shastriji was very down to earth.
Once he had to travel to another place by catching a train. But because of work pressure , he was late when he had reached the railway station.
But in railway station , everyone were aware about Shastriji's travel. The railway guard who gives signal for the movement of trains, observed the car of Shastriji coming to railway station. But it was already late for the departure of train.
Guard thought if he gives green signal for the train movement, Shastriji would miss the train. Hence, he waited till Shastriji enters the platform. Shastriji was surprised to see the train still standing on platform as it was supposed to leave by this time.
Railway guard came forward and said proudly that he didnt give green signal to train. He was aware that Shastriji would travel in that train and Shastriji was late.
Guard was expecting Shastriji to be happy and give good remarks about him. But Shastriji was angry. He scolded guard for his work. He was very concerned about fellow passengers who had suffered the delay in train movement.
Shastriji believed that law makers should follow the laws . He didn't want any special arrangements for the fact that he was the PM .
