"Free Press Is Backbone Of A Democratic Country": Vice President

Jagdeep Dhankhar said the "digestive system of some people gets upset" when something good is happening in the country.

Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar on Friday criticised those who "taint, tarnish and demean" the image of the country abroad, especially at a time when the world is praising its development.

Without naming anyone, he said the "digestive system of some people gets upset" when something good is happening in the country.

"The country is progressing beyond imagination. The world is taking pride in our achievements. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is saying if there is any light in the economic world, it is Bharat. India is a land of opportunity and investment. Our economy is growing," he said.
