She argued about strong economic fundamentals of The Indian Economy. She promised that rising prices will come down soon.
Ms.Umik criticised the government for its failures in the External Sphere. She said,to increase its influence in the Indian Ocean region, China has been creating string of pearls. It includes a facility in Gwadar and a port in Karachi, Pakistan, construction of a new port Hambantota in Sri Lanka, container facility in Chittagong in Bangladesh and ports in Myanmar.China has also been working to develop China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) under on Belt one Road Policy. China is also trying to outplay India in Indian Ocean Region. She pointed out that, No doubt our government opposed the one Belt One Road Policy of China but if failed to carry any of the big powers and especially our neighbours along on the vital question of our sovereignty over the region.
At the South Asian level tensions have escalated with Pakistan and the SAARC process has been stalled. Actually the government has failed miserably to frame definite policy to deal with Pakistan. Our Hon’ble PM visits Pakistan uninvited and within a weak we have the Pak trained terrorists at the Pathankot airbase. Our Prime Minister who boasts a tooth for a tooth – suddenly becomes toothless, voice less and spine less.
Mr. Abhijit Singh, Minister of External Affairs, defended the government while highlighting its achievements in the foreign affairs. He added,we have signed a historic civil nuclear cooperation deal with Japan which would allow Japan to export nuclear technology to India.Over the past three years, we have given a strong momentum to our engagement with the United States, Russia, Germany, France and other major global powers. With them, we not only share a desire to cooperate, we also hold converging views on opportunities and challenges that face us. He further quoted, we have recorded our strong objection, to one belt, one road policy of China as it passes through the territory having our sovereignty.
Due to the efforts of our government, we made Sri Lanka back out from the Chinese contract of developing the Hambantota port. Again, keeping in mind the security concerns of the region. Speaker Madame, Russia is an abiding friend. Our trusted and strategic partnership, especially in the field of defence has only deepened with time. As far as Pakistan is concerned, Speaker Madam, Terror and Talks cannot go together. The day they stop promoting terror, we will start the ÜæÐ

➢ we have set up Skill Development ministry to make are youth capable enough to be the “Job Creators” rather than “Job Seekers”.
➢ Demonetization brought nation together to fight corruption, black money and terrorism.
➢ Madam Speaker, I would also like to mention that India is no more a soft state, the decision to go for “surgical strike” make it very clear that we are capable enough to protect the honour and dignity of our people.
