1st time in 10-yr no foreign ‘mischief’ before a session: Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday taking a swipe at the Opposition parties said it was the first time since 2014 when no attempt from abroad was made to stoke trouble in India before the start of a session. Expressing hope that the Budget Session will meet the nation’s aspirations, the Prime Minister said “I have been observing for 10 years, since 2014, that before every session people used to sit ready to create mischief, and here there is no dearth of people who fan it. This is the first session I am seeing after the last 10 years in which there was no spark from any foreign corner.”The Prime Minister’s remarks referred to the House proceedings disrupted by the Opposition parties in the last sessions over the Hindenburg report, the Pegasus spyware case and others. Emphasising India was a young nation with immense youth power, the Prime Minister said young people aged 20-25 today will be the biggest beneficiaries of a developed India when they reach the age of 45-50.
