New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday lauded India's remarkable economic progress, underlining the nation’s achievement of becoming the 5th largest economy in the world. Addressing an audience, Shah reflected on India's journey of economic independence and resilience, crediting the people and the Constitution for this milestone.

"The people of our country and our Constitution have given a befitting reply to those who said that we would never be able to become economically independent," Shah stated.
