First time since 2014, no attempt from abroad to stoke trouble before Parl session: PM Modi

New Delhi: It is perhaps the first time since 2014 that no attempt has been made from abroad to “stoke a fire” in India before the start of a Parliament session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday.
 Ahead of Parliament’s Budget session, Modi also took a swipe at opposition parties, saying that there were people ready to do mischief before every session since 2014 and there was also no dearth of those who would fuel such attempts.
 “Shayad 2014 se lekar ab tak, ye pehla Parliament ka satr hai, ki jiske ek-do din pehle koi videshi chingari nahi pakdi hai, videsh mein se aag lagane ki koshish nahi hui hai (Perhaps since 2014, this is the first session of Parliament in which a day or two before the session, there has been no foreign attempt to stoke a fire from abroad),” Modi told reporters before the start of the session.
 “This is the first session I am seeing in the last 10 years in which there has been no attempt to stoke a fire from any foreign corner,” the prime minister said.
 He expressed confidence that this Budget session will infuse new confidence and energy in attaining the goal of ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047.
 He said his government has been working in mission mode in its third term for an all-round development and asserted that innovation, inclusion and investment have shaped its economic agenda.
