‘Hamara Vatan Dal Lake Me Khilte Hue Kamal Jaisa’, Recites Nirmala Sitharaman As Amit Shah Smiles Broadly

BySwarajya Staff

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is presenting Union Budget 2020-21 in the Parliament.

During her speech, she recited a couplet in Kashmiri which reads as follows:

Hamara Vatan Khilte Hue Shalimar Bagh Jaisa
Hamara Vatan Dal Jheel Me Khilte Hue Kamal Jaisa
Naujawano Ke Khaulte Hue Khoon Jaisa
Mera Vatan Sabse Pyaara Vatan

This resulted in huge cheers from members of the ruling NDA and a smile from Home Minister Amit Shah, while the opposition members were less than amused.

Notably, the Economic survey 2019-20 tabled yesterday, projects the Indian Economy to grow at a rate of 6 to 6.5 per cent in the upcoming Financial Year 2020-21.
