The UK is facing the worst inflation in 30 years. Similar trends are visible in many other European countries. However, we have kept the inflation in check in the range of 4 -5 per cent.

Campaigns were launched against Indian vaccines to create doubts in the minds of the people," said PM Modi.PM Modi had replied to the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address to the Parliament on Monday evening."Some people need self-introspection.

"At the same time, I want to assure everyone that till the pandemic exists, we will protect the poor of the nation," PM Modi said.He said that the government worked for the people irrespective of their caste, creed, and religion. PM Modi slammed the Opposition for adopting a confrontationist approach even when the government is working for the welfare of the people.
