FM Sitharaman: Dip In GDP But No Recession

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday that the GDP growth has slowed but there is no recession in the economy. She also said that the country will never face a recession.

Amid concerns expressed by the Opposition about the current state of the economy, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, during a debate in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, said that the growth rate has reduced but this does not mean that there is a recession. 

After the reply by Sitharaman, Opposition MPs staged a walkout, to which she said that this is an old habit of theirs.
