Europe, America's trade deals with India brought stability to the world: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that India's trade agreements with the European Union and the US have brought stability to the world.
He said India is rapidly moving forward on the path of development today and has become a beacon of hope in the world due to low inflation and rapid economic growth. Modi was responding to a thank you motion on President Droupadi Murmu's address at the joint session of Parliament to mark the beginning of the budget session.
At the start of the discussion, members of the Congress and some other opposition parties raised slogans and created a ruckus, and walked out of the House.
Referring to the trade agreements with various countries and markets during his government, Modi said, "India has signed trade agreements with 9 major countries and 27 countries of the European Union. Countries of the world do not make such deals with India, it is a big thing if a developed country makes a deal with a developing country."
He said the opposition will have to answer what state they left the country in.
The Prime Minister said, "The whole world is openly praising this trade agreement. After deals with the European Union and the US, there is now stability at the global level. India is fully prepared to compete with the world. The world sees India with equality. The world's confidence in our MSME units is increasing. Big countries are eager to establish trade relations with India."
Modi said economic power, enthusiasm among the people, India becoming a manufacturing hub, was not the priority of those who were immersed in vote bank politics.
He said the addresses of Congress prime ministers from the Red Fort lacked thought, vision, and determination, for which the country had to pay the price for a long time. It took a lot of effort for this government to clean up the image of the country built by them.
He said, "The country is moving forward on the basis of policies, which has increased the world's confidence in India. The government is carrying out reforms, reforms are happening at a rapid pace. The country is on the Reform Express."
The Prime Minister said the President has presented the country's development map in a better and more sensitive way in his address.
During the ruckus, Modi, while taking a jibe at the Congress, said, "My prayer is that Mr. Kharge ji can still raise slogans while sitting, considering his age, he will not have any trouble. Let him be allowed to raise slogans while sitting."
He said the President's address has the resonance of development. The President has placed the power of young India, the potential of every class, in the House, has expressed confidence about India's future.
As a quarter of the 21st century has passed and the second quarter is about to begin, the country is moving forward rapidly with the resolve to become a developed India.
Modi said, "Everyone feels that we have reached an important milestone. We should not stop, not look back, and only take a breath after achieving the goal."
He said India's young population is a great opportunity as the developed countries of the world are getting older.
He said the world's attraction towards India has increased. Youth are important capabilities, dreams, and power.
Modi said during the Congress-led UPA government, India's economy had slipped from sixth to eleventh, now we are going to become the third.
He said after Covid, the world is not able to cope with the situation that has arisen. It is clear that the world is moving towards a new global order, moving very fast.
In neutral analysis, the inclination is towards India, India has become a friend, brother, and reliable partner of the world.
He said we are playing our role properly in global welfare, the voice of the Global South is being raised, India has become its loud voice.
