I rise to reply to the interesting discussion that look place on thefloor of this august House on the Motion of Thanks to the president for his Address to the House of Parliament. The President's Address does not basically deal with te varuous subjects referred toby the Honourable Members who have taken part in this discussion, such as the unfortunate incidents in Punjab and Haryana. Of course, these subjects are important. I shall refer to them later at the appropriate occasion.

Sir, we who are sitting on this side of the House, I mean the Goverment, do not expect praise to us, but we do say that proven facts cannot be disputed. I would have gone into many matters in greater detail, but fortunately my Colleague, Finance Minister, while presenting budget yesterday has furnished deled figures about what we have done and what our achievements are. So, I do not propose to go into them over again. Nevertheless, even at the risk of repetition, I propose to refe to some of the things he had mentioned. How, the most important event of this year and as a metter of fact in the last our years, has been the tremendousincrease in our development efforts year by year not only in physical terms, but in terms of the number of people coverd and sections of population specially helped. In the Sixth' Plan as a whole, the growth of the gross domestic prouduct is expected to be more than 5percent which is th highest in any plan.
