My agenda of reform to transform is yet to be finished: PM Modi

March 12, 2016

New Delhi, Mar 12: The government will continue to push for reforms, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted on Saturday. "My agenda for reform to transform is yet to be finished," Mr Modi said the 'Advancing Asia' conference in New Delhi.

pmoIndia, he said, has dispelled the myth that democracy and rapid economic growth cannot co-exist. He was speaking on the addressing at the summit hosted by his government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). "Entrepreneurship is also booming, following a series of steps we have taken," he said.

Speaking on the second day of the conference, Mr Modi said, "India has shown that a large and diverse country can be managed in a way that can promote economic growth and maintain social stability. One way in which we are doing this is through cooperative and competitive federalism."

"Amid global problems, I am happy to say that India is a haven of macro-economic stability and a beacon of hope, dynamism and opportunity," Mr Modi said.

Listing out his government's reforms agenda from opening nearly all sectors to foreign investment to improving ease of doing business, Mr Modi said the government now intends to focus on the rural sector. "We have increased investment in the rural and agriculture sector, because that is where a majority of India still lives. But our help to the farmers is not based on giving hand-outs," he said.

He also announced a new centre to be set up in India here for capacity building on fiscal and monetary policy space for six countries in the region: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka and India. "The centre will provide training to government and public sector employees. It will enhance their skills and improve the quality of their policy inputs. It will also provide technical assistance to governments and public institutions," Mr Modi said.

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde, who was also a keynote speaker at the conference, had earlier said that "with the promise of more reforms, India's stars are shining bright."

Yes you are busy with global tour.

Your MPs, other leaders are busy in intolerance speech, hatred talk,

So you did not finish your reform, surprisingly you have no time even to start, nor time to think.

This is a nataka company, not government. At least allow other parties to rule and develop the country.

Wayanad, Jan 30: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday compared Mahatma Gandhi assassin Nathuram Godse with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying both believed in the same ideology.

Gandhi, at an anti-CAA rally here, launched a scathing attack on Modi and said he was making Indians to prove that they are Indians.

Addressing participants at "Save the Constitution" march at Kalpetta in Wayanad, his Lok Sabha constituency on Martyr's Day, Gandhi said there was no difference between Godse and Modi.

"Today, an ignorant man is trying to challenge Gandhi's ideology. He is creating an atmosphere of hatred. The ideology is same. Nathuram Godse and Narendra Modi, they believe in the same ideology. There is no difference except that Modi does not have the guts to say he believes in the ideology of Godse," the Wayanad MP said.

Attacking the Prime Minister on the new Citizenship Law, Gandhi questioned Modi and asked who was he to ask Indians to prove that they were Indians.

"Indians are being made to prove that they are Indians. Who is Narendra Modi to decide who is an Indian. Who gave Modi the licence to ask for my Indianness? I know I am an Indian and I don't have to prove it to anyone. Likewise, 1.4 billion Indians do not have to prove that they are Indians," he said.

The Congress leader led the march here as part of efforts to intensify the party's protests against CAA in the state.

Indore, Aug 3: In a bizarre development, the Indore Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court has granted bail to an accused in a sexual harassment case on the condition that he will request the victim to tie a ‘rakhi’ on him with a promise to protect her “to the best of his ability for all times to come”.

Justice Rohit Arya on July 30 also ordered the man to pay Rs 11,000 to the complainant as a “customary ritual usually offered by brothers to sisters” on Raksha Bandhan and seek her blessings while visiting her with his wife and a box of sweets. “The applicant shall also tender Rs 5,000 to the son of the complainant for purchase of clothes and sweets,” the order said.

The court directed the accused to take photographs and receipts of payment made to the victim and her son, which should be filed through his lawyer for placing on record of the case before the Registry.

The victim, a resident of Ujjain district, had alleged that her neighbour, Vikram Bagri, entered her house and sexually harassed her on April 20. The police registered a case under Sections 452 (House-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault or wrongful restraint), 354 (A) (Sexual harassment and punishment for sexual harassment), 354 (Assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 323 (Punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.

The order said the man, in jail for more than two months, was released on bail, on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000 with “one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court, on the condition that he shall remain present before the court concerned during trial,” and comply with conditions under Section 437 (3) of CrPC, along with other conditions.
