Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar has said that the nation presently is in unprecedented economic upsurge and will be a developed nation by 2047. He was talking at the Felicitation ceremony of Dr Karan Singh on the completion of 75 Years in Public Life at the India International Centre (IIC). Dhankhar said ‘Dr Singh has over seven decades witnessed the rise of the nation, and contributed to it in myriad ways. The nation presently is in unprecedented economic upsurge and on an incremental developmental trajectory, well set to be a developed nation @2047, if not earlier.’

Further, he added convergence of forces within and outside inimical to Bharat is a matter of deep concern and alarming. So also anti-national narratives, there is a need for concerted endeavors to influence national mood so as to neutralize these pernicious forces.

He stated, undoubtedly, executive governance is exclusive to the Executive, as is legislation to legislatures and verdicts to courts. The exercise of executive authority by either the Judiciary or Legislature is not in consonance with democracy and constitutional prescriptions. This is an established position as the executive for governance is alone accountable legislature and answerable to courts by way of judicial review.
