New Delhi: “In today’s global circumstances, not only India but the entire world is looking at India’s budget,” PM Modi said while addressing the media ahead of this year’s Budget session. President Droupadi Murmu will for the first time address both the Houses, he pointed out, adding that it’s a day of pride for tribal society.
“It has been a tradition in the Parliament that when a new MP speaks for the first time, the entire Parliament gives them respect and creates an atmosphere to give them confidence. Similarly, today’s address is a first by the President,” he said.
The PM’s statement preceded President Droupadi Murmu’s first address to the joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament.
