Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the country has achieved many achievements at the national and international stage and even in space, terming them as moments of great pride for India. He also said that the crisis in West Asia had created many obstacles and crises in every sector, such as petrol, diesel, LPG and fertilisers, but India remained the fastest growing major economy in the world with a growth rate of 7.7%.
In his usual speech before the start of Parliament, the Prime Minister made clear reference to young people, their aspirations and contributions. His statement came against the backdrop of the ongoing protest by the Justice and Development Party against violations in conducting exams and leaking papers.
“…I am not talking about a 56-year-old here,” he said in an indirect reference to Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi, who has been questioning the government over newspaper leaks.
“The 28-year-olds have planted the country’s flag in space. This sends a strong message regarding the potential and aspirations of our country’s youth,” the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister was referring to Skyroot Aerospace’s maiden orbital launch of Vikram-1, India’s first privately developed launch vehicle.
He said this sends a strong message regarding the potential and aspirations of our country’s youth.
He said that our young comrades are achieving historic success through patience, self-confidence and diligent hard work. This is the greatest strength of developing India.
He said: “An attainable position does not cause distress at any time; the alert person aspires to it with effort. The great person endures sorrow in the course of time; his formidable enemies are vanquished.”
Expressing hope for a productive monsoon session where “all views are respected”, the Prime Minister said when the monsoon and monsoon session are proactive, the nation prospers.
The country has embarked on a journey on the rapid reform train. As a result, the youth of India are able to perform such daring acts. A third semiconductor plant has been allocated to the state. A few days ago, the green hydrogen train was launched, which is the longest hydrogen train equipped with the most powerful engine.
This is the result of the goals pursued by innovators and entrepreneurs in India, he said.
The Prime Minister said that India is progressing at a growth rate of 7.7 per cent and added that there is a need to take the country forward through collective effort.
He said: “I hope that the House of Representatives’ actions will be conducted on the basis of logic and truth.”
The Prime Minister attributed the situation in West Asia to the fact that India faces challenges with regard to petrol, diesel, LPG and fertilisers.
He said that despite the challenges of witnessing a growth rate of 7.7 per cent, India remains the fastest growing major economy in the world.
He added that Parliament at a time like this needs the expertise of all parties, regardless of their affiliations.
He said, “The youth want us to move forward. We hope that the voices of those loyal to the homeland and driven by patriotism will continue to be heard in the council where facts and logic prevail.” As the opposition prepares to raise a host of issues including paper leaks, fuel costs and theft of donations at the Ram temple in Ayodhya, the Prime Minister said: “I hope the deliberations of the House will be enriched with logic and facts.”
We believe that where there are facts, there is no need for chaos. If your logic and facts are strong, there is no need to raise your voice.
He said: “I hope that discussions in Parliament will be conducted with logic and facts. Every voice must find an opportunity to be heard. This is the role of Parliament. I urge all parliamentarians to participate.”
