Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar delivered a keynote address at NDTV Indian Of The Year Awards. "Our economy entered the Big 5, leaving behind the UK, Canada, and France. We will be in the top three, above Germany and Japan," he said in his speech. "The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is a reprieve for the persecuted. India has been a place for the persecuted for centuries. Media has to play its role. Media cannot be a registered, recognised, or unrecognised political party. Some people in the media leveraged decision-making. Media should not be a power broker. It has to be accountable," he added.
