The PM was replying to the Motion of Thanks on President Kovind’s address in Rajya Sabha.

 “The nation is making progress and we are talking about FDI but I see that a new FDI has come to the fore. We must protect the nation from this new FDI. We need Foreign Direct Investment but the new FDI is ‘Foreign Destructive Ideology’, we have to protect ourselves from it,” he said.

Modi’s remarks come after pop icon Rihanna, teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg and lawyer-author Meena Harris, niece of US Vice President Kamala Harris, extended their support to the ongoing farmers’ protest.

During the address, PM Modi also hit out at those who are seen in every agitation. “In the last few years, we have witnessed a new category of protesters, “Andolan jeevi”, who one can witness in every agitation. We need to protect this country from these Andolan Jeevi, who are actually “parjeevi”. They don’t have their own strength, but they join all agitations,” he added.

The prime minister called India as “mother of democracy.” “Our democracy is not weak because it is based on human values. We forgot to teach our youth that India is the mother of democracy.”

Earlier last week, Rihanna, who has over 100 million followers on Twitter, took to the microblogging site and shared a CNN report headlined, “India cuts internet around New Delhi as protesting farmers clash with police”. “Why aren’t we talking about this? #FarmersProtest,” Rihanna wrote. Climate activist Thunberg also shared the CNN report on farmer protests, but was more explicit in her support. “We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India,” she wrote.
