Reaching out to the Indian diaspora, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh invited them to "actively" participate in the country's economic development and join politics while hoping that they would get voting rights by the time of next general elections in 2014.
He noted that the country was expecting 7 per cent growth this year despite the "unprecedented" financial crisis and was hopeful about return to sustained 9-10 per cent growth in a couple of years.
"We seek the active involvement of the overseas Indian communities in accelerating the pace of our economic and social development. In this context, it is important that we make efforts to connect the second generation of overseas Indians with their ancestral heritage and involve them actively in India’s march forward," he said inaugurating the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas celebrations in New Delhi.
