Mr. Jaitley spoke earlier this month of plans to eradicate TB within a decade and Mr. Sharma has spoken to both the nascent parliamentary group and the Prime Minister about the work that needs to be done.  “We have only been in India for two days but we are already improving contacts between the Indian and British governments. I have had productive discussions with both Mr. Modi and Mr. Jaitley about the fantastic work that has already been done on TB eradication and I know there is a real desire to make progress on this issue”, said Shri Virendra Sharma. There are important steps to be made on civic involvement and I have raised those issues while we have met with key members of Parliament”, said Shri Virendra Sharma.

On this initiative, Shri Kalraj Mishra (Union Minister, MSME Govt.of India), Shri Rajeev Shukla (Former Union Minister, Govt. of India), the director of Alma Shri Santosh Shukla, Advocate welcomed the move by the Indo-British All Party Parliamentary Group expressing new possibilities would arise owing to such measures.
