New Delhi: Former Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Wednesday termed the Union Budget 2023-24 presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Parliament as “progressive” and “people-friendly”, and called it a “gazette of the glorious journey of a strong and self-reliant India”.
Speaking to IANS, Naqvi said, “This is a progressive, phenomenal, and people-friendly Budget, which is a gazette of the glorious journey of a strong and self-reliant India. The Budget is committed to the welfare and empowerment of villages, farmers, the poor and all other sections of the society in the backdrop of a global recession.”
He added, “Due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s farsightedness, the Indian economy has not been affected by the global challenges.”
