Prime Minister Narendra Modi is replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks on President Ram Nath Kovind’s address in the Rajya Sabha or Upper House of Parliament. PM Modi began his address by thanking President Ram Nath Kovind for his information and descriptive address about the present situation of the country.

PM Modi focused on the issues faced by the country during the Covid pandemic and how the country handled the situation. PM said, “India is truly a land of opportunities. Several opportunities are awaiting us, so a nation that is young, full of enthusiasm & a nation that is making efforts to realise the dreams, with a resolve, will never let these opportunities simply pass by.”
During COVID, situations are around the globe were disastrous. Helping anyone seemed a massive challenge. Countries couldn’t help each other, and even family members failed to help each other.
Doubts over India’s handling of the pandemic were seething all across the world. COVID wasn’t just a threat on India, but on entire humankind.
India fought an unknown enemy to save its citizens with a new attitude and frame of mind.
We had to find ways, build ways and save people. The entire country performed well and the world accepts that India has played a big role in saving mankind.
PM said, “The eyes of the world are on India. There are expectations from India and there is the confidence that India will contribute to the betterment of our planet”

PM Modi said, “You might’ve seen on the social media-an an old woman sitting outside her hut on a footpath, with a lit earthen lamp, praying for the welfare of India. We’re mocking her! If somebody who never went to school thinks they can serve India by lighting lamps, they can do it. It’s being mocked!”
PM further said, “India has seen days when there was a large threat of polio, smallpox. Nobody knew whether India will get a vaccine or how many people will get it. From those days, we’re now here, when our nation is making vaccines for world. This increases our self-confidence.”
PM Modi slams TMC
TMC MPs walked out of Rajya Sabha as soon as Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his address. PM slammed TMC by saying, “I was listening to Derek ji, he had chosen good words – Freedom of Speech, Intimidation. When I was listening to him, I was wondering if he is talking about Bengal or the country. He sees all this for 24 hours, so he might have said the same here too.”
PM Modi On Farmers’ Protest
PM Modi in Rajya Sabha,”The session discussed the farmers’ protest at a huge length, but all the debates were based on what is happening during the protest but nobody addressed the issues on why the farmers’ are holding protests. The opposition failed to cite the reason and just raised the demands of the farmers. Even Agri minister asked them what is the problem in the Farm Laws and we are yet to receive an answer.”
