PM Modi Hopes Monsoon and Parliamentary Session Yield Productive Outcomes Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the media outside Parliament on Monday, July 20, 2026, ahead of the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament. He expressed hope that both the monsoon season and the parliamentary session would prove to be productive for the nation. Modi emphasized that reforms initiated by his government had instilled confidence in the youth, encouraging them to take bold steps toward progress. On the economic front, Modi highlighted the challenges posed by the West Asia conflict, which disrupted India’s energy imports. Despite these difficulties, he noted that India had achieved a growth rate of 7.7% during the previous quarter. He also acknowledged recent milestones in the country’s space sector, stating that significant achievements had been made in the past month. Modi urged lawmakers to actively participate in the Monsoon Session, stressing the importance of meaningful discussions and collective efforts to advance the nation’s goals. He emphasized that the Parliament, with its experienced members, needed to contribute its expertise to address current challenges. The government planned to introduce a bill in the Rajya Sabha to criminalize insults to the national song, Vande Mataram. However, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) opposed the move, calling it unconstitutional. Modi defended the initiative, asserting that there was no room for controversy when facts and logic were present. He reiterated that a positive spirit was essential for achieving national objectives. Modi also took a veiled jab at Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi while praising India’s growing space capabilities.#prime_minister_narendra_modi #rajya_sabha #communist_party_of_india_marxist #skyroot_aerospace #parliamentary_session_monsoon
