PM Modi Says Wealth Creators Should Not be Eyed with Suspicion, Must be Respected

In his Independence Day speech on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that wealth creation is a great national service and it should not be seen with suspicion because wealth can be distributed only after it is created.

“Let us never see wealth creators with suspicion. Only when wealth is created, wealth will be distributed. Wealth creation is absolutely essential. Those who create wealth are India’s wealth and we respect them,” PM Modi said.

In his speech in Hindi, the Prime Minister said some wrong notions have gripped the nation with regard to wealth creators and such notions must be discarded. The country needs wealth creators and re-distribution of wealth to help the poor, he said.
