Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday said that India should emerge as a world leader in the post-COVID new world order.

Addressing the second National Committee meeting on Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav in New Delhi, the PM said that we are celebrating Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav at a time when the whole world is going through the COVID-19 crisis.

“The crisis has taught us all new lessons and shattered the existing structures which will lead to the emergence of a new world order in the post-COVID era. So, as we celebrate Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, we should envisage a pivotal role for India and that it should emerge as a world leader in this post-COVID new world order,” he said.
