The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi replied to the motion of thanks on the President’s address to Parliament in the Lok Sabha today.

The Prime Minister said that the Hon'ble President gave direction to the nation in her visionary address to both Houses. He remarked that her address inspired the ‘Nari Shakti’ (women power) of India and gave a boost to the self-confidence of India's tribal communities while instilling a feeling of pride among them. “She gave a detailed blueprint of ‘Sankalp se Siddhi’ of the nation”, the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister noted that challenges might arise but with the determination of 140 crore Indians, the nation can overcome all the obstacles that come our way. He said that the handling of the country during once-in-a-century calamity and war has filled every Indian with confidence. Even in such a time of turmoil, India has emerged as the 5th largest economy in the world.

He said that there is positivity and hope towards India at a global level. The Prime Minister credited this positivity to stability, India’s global standing, the growing capability of India and new emerging possibilities in India. Throwing light on the atmosphere of trust in the country, the Prime Minister said that India has a government that is stable and decisive. He underlined the belief that reforms are not carried out of compulsion but by conviction. “The world is seeing prosperity in India’s prosperity”, he said.

The Prime Minister drew attention to the decade before 2014 and said that the years between 2004 to 2014 were burdened with scams and at the same time there were terror attacks happening in every corner of the country. This decade saw the decline of the Indian economy and the Indian voice grew very feeble on global fora. The era was marked by ‘Mauke main musibat’ - adversity in opportunity.

Noting that the country is full of self-confidence today and realising its dreams and resolutions, the Prime Minister said that the entire world is looking towards India with eyes of hope and credited the stability and possibility of India. He observed that India under UPA was called the ‘Lost Decade’ while today people are calling the present decade as ‘India’s Decade’.

Noting that India is the mother of democracy, the Prime Minister underlined that constructive criticism is vital for a strong democracy and said that criticism is like a ‘shuddhi yagya’ (purification yagya). The Prime Minister lamented that instead of constructive criticism, some people indulge in compulsive criticism. He observed that in the last 9 years, we have had compulsive critics who indulge in unsubstantiated allegations instead of constructive criticism. The Prime Minister said that such criticism will not pass muster with the people who are experiencing the basic facilities for the first time now. He said instead of a dynasty, he is a member of the family of 140 crore Indians. “The blessings of 140 crore Indians is my ‘Suraksha Kavach’”, the Prime Minister remarked.

The Prime Minister reiterated the commitment towards those who are deprived and neglected and asserted that the biggest benefit of the government’s scheme has gone to dalits, adivasis, women and vulnerable sections. Throwing light on the Nari Shakti of India, the Prime Minister informed that no efforts have been spared to strengthen India's Nari Shakti. He remarked that when the mothers of India are strengthened, then the people are strengthened, and when the people are strengthened it strengthens the society which leads to a strengthening of the nation. He also underlined that the government has addressed the aspirations of the middle class and honoured them for their honesty. Highlighting that the common citizens of India are full of positivity, the Prime Minister emphasised that even though the Indian society has the capability to deal with negativity, it never accepts this negativity.

    पुलवामा हमला हो, तो मोदी की साजिश चीनी सैनिक घुस आए, मोदी की साजिश अडानी का शेयर बढ़े, मोदी की साजिश भाई , मोदी कोई भूत है क्या, जो हर जगह दिखने लगा है, आपलोगों को। अडानी का शेयर उठेगा, अडानी का शेयर गिरेगा। यह तो स्वाभाविक सी बात है। जिसको अडानी का शेयर खरीदना है, खरीदे, बेचना है तो बेचे। अब मोदी कहां से आ गया, इन सब में। दर असल, जब से मोदीजी ने, यूरोप अमेरिका को नजर अंदाज करके , रुस से ईंधन खरीदा गया है। तभी से भारत पर आर्थिक प्रतिबंध लगाने का प्रयास हो रहा है। पहले विदेशी कंपनी, निराधार आरोप लगाकर भारतीय शेयर धारकों से अडानी के कंपनी का शेयर बिकवा दिया। फिर विदेशी बैंक ने एक साथ अपना शेयर बेचने लगा, अपना निवेश वापस लेने लगा, अपना दिया कर्ज वापस मांगने लगा। अब भारत के सबसे बड़े कंपनी ग्रुप को धराशाई करने के बाद, अब यह साजिश रचा जा रहा है, की भारत में कोई भी विदेशी निवेश नहीं करे। 1. इससे भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था बदहाल होगा। 2. भारतीय राजनीति का आंतरिक माहौल खराब होगा। 3. भारतीय लोकतंत्र को खतरे में बताकर आंदोलन प्रारंभ किया जयेगम 4. भारतीय केंद्र सरकार को अस्थिर करके लोकसभा चुनाव 2024 में बीजेपी को हराया जायेगा। 5. गठबंधन की सरकार को सत्ता में लाकर, फिर से यूरोप अमेरिका, अपना मनमानी करेगा। इससे बचने के लिए कुछ उपाय करना चाहिए 1. मोरिसस और स्विट्जरलैंड को निवेश करने के लिए आमंत्रित किया जाए। 2. चीन को लहासा कोलकाता कॉरिडोर बनाने के बहाने, भारत में एक अरब डॉलर का निवेश करने के लिए प्रेरित किया जाए। क्योंकि अमेरिका अपना चीनी कर्ज और बॉन्ड पेपर को बेईमानी करना चाह रहा है। ऐसे में चीन को भारत के पक्ष में किया जाए और कोरोना फैलाने के आरोप से बचाने का आश्वासन दिया जाए। ध्यान रहे केवल आश्वासन ही देना है, चीन को कोई वास्तविक लाभ नहीं देना, न आर्थिक , न सामरिक, न कूटनीतिक। किसी भी प्रकार से चीन को लाभ पहुंचाने से बचा जाए। 3. छोटे छोटे देशों को पैसा देने की जगह, अब पैसा लिया जाए। तुर्की और सीरिया को निवेश करने के लिए प्रेरित किया जाए। जब छोटे छोटे देश निवेश करेंगे, तब वे छोटे छोटे देश आयात भी करेंगे। उन्हें लगेगा, भारत में हमारा ही कंपनी उत्पादन कर रहा है, इसीलिए हम भारत से ही सामान खरीदेंगे। 4. भारतीयों को अंतरराष्ट्रीय व्यापार करने का प्रशिक्षण दिया जाए। 5. अंतराष्ट्रीय कंपनी बनने में मदद किया जाए। 6. निर्यात को बढ़ाने के लिए प्रेरित किया जाए। 7. ऐसे वस्तुओं का उत्पादन किया जाए, जिसे निर्यात किया जा सके। 8. चीन और अमेरिका के व्यापार करने के तरीके को बारीकी से सीखा जाए। आखिर चीन और अमेरिका किस तरह से उत्पादन कर रहा है, किस तरह से व्यापार का प्रसार कर रहा है। यह भारतीय पेशेवर व्यापारियों छात्रों प्रोफेसरों को पढ़ने और रिसर्च करने के लिए भेजा जाए। भारतवर्ष को अस्थिर करने से बचाने के लिए, भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्था का नियंत्रण, केंद्र सरकार को अपने हाथ में रखना चाहिए।

PM Modi’s remarks at the BRICS session: Environment, COP-30, and Global Health
July 07, 2025

Your Highness,
Excellencies,

I am glad that under the chairmanship of Brazil, BRICS has given high priority to important issues like environment and health security. These subjects are not only interconnected but are also extremely important for the bright future of humanity.

Friends,

This year, COP-30 is being held in Brazil, making discussions on the environment in BRICS both relevant and timely. Climate change and environmental safety have always been top priorities for India. For us, it's not just about energy, it's about maintaining a balance between life and nature. While some see it as just numbers, in India, it's part of our daily life and traditions. In our culture, the Earth is respected as a mother. That’s why, when Mother Earth needs us, we always respond. We are transforming our mindset, our behaviour, and our lifestyle.

Guided by the spirit of "People, Planet, and Progress”, India has launched several key initiatives — such as Mission LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment), 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' (A Tree in the Name of Mother), the International Solar Alliance, the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, the Green Hydrogen Mission, the Global Biofuels Alliance, and the Big Cats Alliance.

During India’s G20 Presidency, we placed strong emphasis on sustainable development and bridging the gap between the Global North and South. With this objective, we achieved consensus among all countries on the Green Development Pact. To encourage environment-friendly actions, we also launched the Green Credits Initiative.

Despite being the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is the first country to achieve its Paris commitments ahead of schedule. We are also making rapid progress toward our goal of achieving Net Zero by 2070. In the past decade, India has witnessed a remarkable 4000% increase in its installed capacity of solar energy. Through these efforts, we are laying a strong foundation for a sustainable and green future.

Friends,

For India, climate justice is not just a choice, it is a moral obligation. India firmly believes that without technology transfer and affordable financing for countries in need, climate action will remain confined to climate talk. Bridging the gap between climate ambition and climate financing is a special and significant responsibility of developed countries. We take along all nations, especially those facing food, fuel, fertilizer, and financial crises due to various global challenges.

These countries should have the same confidence that developed countries have in shaping their future. Sustainable and inclusive development of humanity cannot be achieved as long as double standards persist. The "Framework Declaration on Climate Finance” being released today is a commendable step in this direction. India fully supports this initiative.

Friends,

The health of the planet and the health of humanity are deeply intertwined. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us that viruses do not require visas, and solutions cannot be chosen based on passports. Shared challenges can only be addressed through collective efforts.

Guided by the mantra of 'One Earth, One Health,' India has expanded cooperation with all countries. Today, India is home to the world’s largest health insurance scheme "Ayushman Bharat”, which has become a lifeline for over 500 million people. An ecosystem for traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, and Siddha has been established. Through Digital Health initiatives, we are delivering healthcare services to an increasing number of people across the remotest corners of the country. We would be happy to share India’s successful experiences in all these areas.

I am pleased that BRICS has also placed special emphasis on enhancing cooperation in the area of health. The BRICS Vaccine R&D Centre, launched in 2022, is a significant step in this direction. The Leader’s Statement on "BRICS Partnership for Elimination of Socially Determined Diseases” being issued today shall serve as new inspiration for strengthening our collaboration.

Friends,

I extend my sincere gratitude to all participants for today’s critical and constructive discussions. Under India’s BRICS chairmanship next year, we will continue to work closely on all key issues. Our goal will be to redefine BRICS as Building Resilience and Innovation for Cooperation and Sustainability. Just as we brought inclusivity to our G-20 Presidency and placed the concerns of the Global South at the forefront of the agenda, similarly, during our Presidency of BRICS, we will advance this forum with a people-centric approach and the spirit of ‘Humanity First.’

Once again, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to President Lula on this successful BRICS Summit.

Thank you very much.
