Ravi Shankar Prasad retracts statement given on Hindi movies

"I was also told that on October 2, which is observed as one of the national holidays, three Hindi movies garnered Rs. 120 crore business on that day. Unless the economy is sound in the country how can only three movies collected so much business in a single day?" the minister said.

"Electronic manufacturing, Information and Technology sector, Mudra loan, commerce services are performing very well. We never said that we will give government jobs to everyone... There are some people who have organised against the government and misleading people over unemployment," Mr Prasad said.
