New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday lauded the debate over the situation in Ukraine and the efforts undertaken by India to bring back its citizens from the trouble-torn country.
Taking to the Twitter handle, Modi said that the Parliament has witnessed a ‘healthy discussion’ on the situation in Ukraine and India’s efforts to bring back the citizens under Operation Ganga.
Thanking the MPs, the Prime Minister said that he is grateful to them for sharing their enriching viewpoints.
“The rich level of debate and the constructive points illustrate how there is bipartisanship when it comes to matters of foreign policy. Such bipartisanship augers well for India at the world stage.”
