Can hear 'vocal for local' all over India: PM

February 10, 2021 16:36

Prime Minister Narendra Modi replies in Lok Sabha to the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address.

"During the discussion on the President's speech, a large number of women MPs took part. This is a great sign. I want to congratulate the women MPs who enriched the House proceedings with their thoughts.

"The speech by President showcased India's 'Sankalp Shakti.' His words have boosted the spirit of confidence among the people of India. We're knocking at the doors of 75 years of independence.

"It's a matter of pride for every Indian and an occasion to move forward. We may be in any corner or belong to any strata of society but we must make a new resolve that where do we want to take India at 100 years of freedom.

"The post-COVID world is turning out to be very different. In such times, remaining isolated from global trends will be counter-productive. We'll have to emerge as a strong player. That is why, India is working towards building an Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

"Today we can hear 'Vocal for Local' in every corner of India. People look for local. This sense of self-respect is working a lot for Aatmanirbhar Bharat."
