Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated the second Global Investors Summit in Uttarakhand where he urged rich Indians to have at least one destination wedding in the hill State and initiate the “Wed in India’ movement on the lines of ‘Make in India’.
“We in India believe that it is God who brings two people together in marriage. Then why are these young people, instead of starting their new life from the land of God, running to foreign countries [for their wedding],” said PM.
Asking all youngsters to start a “Wed in India” movement, Mr. Modi said that it surprises him how all the “dhannaseth” (rich) people of India follow the trend of getting married abroad. Addressing the crowd at the investors summit organised at Forest Research Institute (FRI) in Dehradun, the PM pointed out that many in the audience are likely to have had weddings in foreign countries.
