There is a rule of law in India, business heads don’t disappear overnight: FM Sitharaman
Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman took cheeky potshots on Saturday at China (without naming the country, of course) while explaining why India is the global destination for businesses and why the optimism surrounding the country even amid a bleak global outlook, isn’t misplaced.
On being asked by Ashok Malik, a former advisor to India’s ministry of external affairs and now country head of The Asia Group — a business advisory firm – on what makes India confident that it can stem the tide and be the hinge on which global growth hinges, the finance minister was quick to point out that India has “the right combination of things that help in economic growth. Youth, a burgeoning middle class that has purchasing power and provides a captive market, technology-driven public investment, public infrastructure in the digital world, and an understated fact: rule of law.”

Highlighting the importance of multilateralism in the context of changing geopolitics at the ongoing 8th Raisina Dialogue, Minister of State for External Affairs, Meenakshi Lekhi on Saturday said, “India would work towards reforming multilateralism. There is a better methodology in resolving conflicts and not letting them happen in the first place in the interest of maintaining social order.”
“India has taken upon itself the task of being the voice for the voiceless, and the reform in multilateralism has to be the way forward because in its current form, it has failed to address key issues,” she said, adding that the prevailing global scenario calls for a relook at the method and the manner in which things have happened or have not been dealt with,” Lekhi said.
