"I believe with all my heart heart that civilization has produced nothing finer than a man or woman who thinks and practices true tolerance. Some one has said that most of us don't think, we just occasionally rearrange our prejudices. And I suspect that even today, with all the progress we have made in liberal thought, the quality of true tolerance is as rare as the quality of mercy. That men of all creeds have fundamental common objectives is a fact one must learn by the process of education. How to work jointly towards these objectives must be learned by experience". - Frank Knox

India nowhere near recession: Chidambaram

 

 

 

 


     New Delhi, Dec 16 (IANS) India is "nowhere" near recession though it has been impacted by the global economic meltdown, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said here Tuesday.

 

     "Many countries are facing recession but India is nowhere near recession," Chidambaram, who previously held the finance portfolio, said during question hour in the Rajya Sabha.

 

     "At the same time, we are affected by the slowdown of the economy because of tbe global meltdown," Chidambaram added, while responding to a question from N.K. Singh of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on how India's inflation rate compared with international trends.

 

     Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who holds the finance portfolio after Chidambaram was shifted to the home ministry following the sacking of incumbent Shivraj Patil in the wake of the Mumbai terror attacks, was present in the house at the time. It had previously been announced that Chidambaram would field questions relating to the finance ministry in parliament.

 

     According to Chidambaram, "if growth dips over two quarters, then there is inflation".

 

     India, he said, "has been facing inflation since April due to the rising international prices of crude, metals and foodgrains. Now, these prices are inching downward".

 

     The government, Chidambaram maintained, was "trying a balance between growth and controlling inflation" and was "biased in favour of growth.

 

     Therefore, the prime minister had announced a (Rs.20,000 crore) stimulus package (earlier this month)".

 

     Replying to N.K. Singh's supplementary on the steps the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had taken in view of the continuing depreciation of the rupee, Chidambaram said: "This is something that is controlled by market forces. The RBI intervenes when there is excessive volatility. The rupee is now appreciating."
