PM Modi’s Jab At Opposition Amid Gulf War
New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday expressed gratitude in the direction of Gulf nations for help to Indians residing there amid the West Asia battle and famous that India is dealing with the worldwide gasoline disaster resolutely.
In the 132nd episode of his radio present Mann Ki Baat, PM Modi requested political events and residents to not politicise the West Asia battle and keep away from spreading rumours.
Noting the worldwide turbulence amid the battle between US-Israel and Iran, he mentioned, “The month of March has been eventful at a global level. In the past, the entire world faced numerous problems for a long time due to the COVID. We all expected that after emerging through the COVID crisis, the world would move forward on the path of progress with a fresh start. But conditions of war and conflict continued to emerge in different regions of the world. Currently, a fierce war has been going on for a month in our neighbourhood. Relatives of lakhs of families reside in these countries, and particularly work in the Gulf countries. I am grateful to Gulf countries for providing every kind of assistance to over one crore Indians there.”
“A crisis is developing around the world regarding petrol and diesel. Our global relations, the support we receive from various countries, and the strengths we have built over the past decade have enabled India to face these challenges resolutely. These are certainly challenging times. Today, through ‘Mann Ki Baat,’ I will once again urge all my countrymen that we must unite and overcome this challenge,” the Prime Minister added.
Further, in a veiled jibe on the opposition, he mentioned that there’s “no place for self-serving politics.”
“All those politicising the issue should not do it. This issue is connected to the interests of 140 crore Indians, and there is no place for self-serving politics. All those spreading rumours are causing great harm to the country. I would also like to appeal to all countrymen to remain vigilant and not be misled by rumours. Trust the constant information provided by the government and take action based on that,” he mentioned.
The battle in West Asia started with Israel-US strikes on Iran on February 28, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
