Voicing his resentment against India providing fossil fuel subsidies, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres Thursday said less support should be handed out to companies that are making huge profits.
“Instead of subsidising things, it is necessary to subsidise people. India today, in one of the most expanded programmes of social welfare in the world, provides hundreds of millions of families with financial support. So, this is the right thing to do to provide more and more support to the families in need and less and less support that benefit companies that are today making huge profits around the world,” Guterres said during his visit to Modhera’s famous Sun Temple in Mehsana.
