TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ With great power comes great responsibility, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said on Friday quoting a famous dialogue from Hollywood blockbuster “Spiderman” to emphasise that India’s responsibility will increase in sync with its rising global stature.
In an address at an event, Singh said he envisioned a developed India that ensures that universal values like democracy, religious freedom, dignity and world peace are established across the globe. The defence minister said the government is working to build a developed India by 2047, focusing on almost all sectors of the country.
“India is not an emerging but a resurgent power which is regaining its place on the global economic map under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” Singh said. The defence minister also underlined the need for building a welfare state with high standard of living, social harmony and equal participation of women in the development process.
