Concerns Over Energy and Fertilizer Crisis due to Ongoing Conflict: Rajnath Singh
New Delhi: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh expressed serious concerns on Saturday about the ongoing conflict in West Asia and its potential impact on energy and fertilizer supplies. Speaking at a public event in Haldwani to celebrate four years of the Pushkar Dhami government in Uttarakhand, he emphasized that the situation could affect countries worldwide, including India, if it escalates further.
Singh highlighted that dialogue and diplomacy are essential for resolving these crises. He noted that the increasing violence in West Asia is a worrying issue not only for India but for the entire globe.
“As the situation worsens, no country can remain in isolation,” Singh warned. He acknowledged that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India has so far managed to avoid falling into such a crisis.
He urged the people to back the government’s initiatives on the international stage, saying, “I call upon everyone in Uttarakhand to support the efforts that Modi ji is making to tackle this crisis.”
Singh also pointed out that India’s influence in global matters has grown significantly since 2014. “In the past, when India spoke up on international issues, our voices weren’t always taken seriously. Now, the world listens,” he added, reflecting on the country’s enhanced standing in global affairs.
