Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday took a swipe at the Opposition over lack of any “spark from foreign lands” ahead of a Parliament session for the first time in a decade.
“This is the first time in over 10 years that I have been here and that there has been no spark of any kind from foreign shores on the eve of our Parliament session. There has been no attempt at any shararat, no foreign conspiracy,” the Prime Minister said in his customary address on the eve of the budget session of Parliament commencing today.
He was referring to a range of issues the Opposition has raised in the past ahead of Parliament sessions. It included most lately the now-shut US short-seller Hindenburg’s allegations of stock manipulation against Indian industrialist Gautam Adani and earlier, the Pegasus surveillance software issue and much earlier the Rafale deal with France. Modi added there was no attempt to create any mischief this time.
The Prime Minister said this was the first time no spark of conspiracy has erupted from any nook or corner of any foreign land. He added that the Budget session would lay the ground to give wings to Indian dreams of Viksit Bharat.
Modi urged the youth to participate in the journey of Viksit Bharat by 2047 recalling the contribution of the youth in the Indian freedom movement.
