The Congress on Friday said the government has "confessed" that the Indian economy is under stress and questioned the "silence" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari also demanded the government lists out the steps it intends to take to revive the economy.

He said Niti Ayog vice chairperson Rajiv Kumar deserves to be congratulated for "admitting" that the current stress in the financial sector is "unprecedented".

This "confession", he said requires a slight amendment as "it is not just the financial sector, (rather) it is the Indian economy that is under stress. The current situation in the Indian economy is unprecedented, something of the sort has not been seen in the past 70 years."
