Shun foreign holidays & weddings abroad: PM Modi's 'vocal for local' pitch
Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Indians to adopt the 'vocal for local' approach and avoid foreign holidays, weddings abroad, and unnecessary gold purchases. Speaking in a video message, he praised the country's impressive GDP growth of 7.8% in the April-June quarter, attributing the success to the "collective resolve and efforts" of the Indian people.
Despite global conflicts, wars, instability, and supply-chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, India maintained its growth momentum. The Prime Minister emphasized the need for sustained self-reliance and Swadeshi to provide a developed India for the youth when the nation celebrates its 100th anniversary of independence.
He assured that the government's policies were clear and credited them for India's progress, dismissing attempts to spread negativity and falsehoods.
