Won146;t back-off from liberalisation: PM

Singh said his government was also committed to an environment of freedom 8220;in which creativity and enterprise of our people can find its full and free expression8221;.

Inviting overseas investors to bring in more funds into the country, he said globalisation was both a challenge and an opportunity and India would like to be 8220;an active participant in the process of globalisation8221;.
