Bhubaneswar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday addressed the Lok Sabha regarding the escalating crisis in West Asia, which began on February 28 following joint military strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran.
Concerns Over Global Impact
During his address, the Prime Minister said the continued bombings and military actions across the oil-rich region have created serious challenges for the global economy, particularly in terms of energy security and supply chains.
The ongoing instability in the Gulf region has raised concerns over disruptions in oil flows and increased volatility in international markets.
Focus on Indian Nationals
Highlighting India’s significant diaspora presence in the region, Modi assured that the government is taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety and well-being of Indian citizens.
He stated that Indian diplomatic missions are in constant contact with the diaspora, monitoring the situation closely and providing assistance wherever required.
Government on High Alert
The government, he added, remains vigilant and prepared to respond to any emerging challenges, including potential evacuation or emergency support measures if the situation worsens.
The address underscores India’s dual focus on safeguarding its citizens abroad while closely tracking the geopolitical and economic implications of the West Asia crisis.
