Discussions with an open mind can become an important opportunity for global impact in this Budget session, he said

India's economic progress, its vaccination campaign and made-in-India vaccines are creating trust in the entire world, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday.

In his remarks to the media ahead of the first day of the Budget Session of Parliament, Prime Minister Modi said, "Our debates, issues and discussions with an open mind can become an important opportunity for global impact in this Budget session".

He expressed the hope that all respected parliamentarians and political parties would help in taking the country on the path of development by having a good discussion with an open mind.

While acknowledging that Parliament sessions and discussions get affected due to frequent elections, Prime Minister Modi said that elections would continue but the Budget session was very important because it draws plans for the entire year.

"As much as we make this Budget session more fruitful with full commitment, the coming year will also be a great opportunity to take it to new economic heights," he said.
