Nagpur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the nation today hailed the country’s milestone of 100 crore vaccinations and said that it was a symbol of India’s ability and a ‘new India.’ He further claimed that critics of the country have been silenced.
Modi in speech said that there were many who were questioning India’s capability of producing and administering the Covid-19 vaccine. He added that by administering 1 billion doses, we shut the critics who were questioning the government’s ability at every step. Modi said, “Everyone is comparing India to other countries but also remember that India’s starting point was different. The 100 crore jabs are an answer to all.”
The prime minister also said that Indians cannot let their guard down during the upcoming festive season and masks should now be made a part of our lives. He also urged the citizens to make ‘Make in India’ and ‘Vocal for local’ as big of a movement as ‘Swachch Abhiyan.’
“Experts in India and abroad are very positive about India’s economy,” Modi said.
Today’s address was Modi’s tenth speech in the last 19 months, ever since the pandemic hit India.
