Impress Foreign Press

By Vijay Kumar

YESTERDAY, the Prime Minister addressed a large Press Conference after completing six years in office.

This was a questions asked by a foreign journalist.

QUESTION : Foreign journalists, in India, are facing a lot of problems in getting the PIB cards. Temporary cards are issued for us and I faced a big problem in getting into this Press Conference hall. I took me about 20 minutes. I understand that issuance of permanent cards takes from six months to two years, making it impossible for us to be functional. Your Excellency, may I ask you to talk to your Government to solve this problem?

And this was the PM's reply:

ANSWER : I am very sorry to hear that it took you so long to enter into this building. I will certainly ask the relevant Minister or the Ministries to look into this issue.
