He also tore into the Congress for questioning his government's 'Make in India' initiative and accused the party of instigating separatism and indulging in "blind opposition". Modi said 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' is the perfect time to think about how India can play a global leadership role in the coming years.

Post COVID-19 pandemic, the world is moving fast towards a new order and India should not miss this opportunity, he said.

The Prime Minister also took on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and criticised his AA-variant jibe made a few days back. Gandhi had said in the Parliament a couple of days ago that "the double-A variant is spreading in the economy."

Modi criticised Gandhi for saying so and added that Congress was suffering because of this attitude. "How can someone talk about our industrialists in this manner…Congress is suffering because of this," the PM said.
