Prime Minister Narendra Modi has criticised the Indian National Congress over its comments on the ongoing Iran conflict, accusing the opposition of trying to take political advantage of a serious global situation.
Speaking at a rally in Gujarat, Modi said some opposition leaders were acting irresponsibly and described them as “political vultures.” He claimed they were spreading fear among people instead of supporting the country during a difficult time.
The Prime Minister pointed out that the conflict in West Asia has disrupted fuel supplies across many countries. Despite this, he said India has managed the situation well and avoided major shortages.
He also accused the Congress of spreading rumours about fuel shortages and creating unnecessary panic among citizens. According to him, such actions can harm the country, especially when unity is needed the most.
Modi stressed that during global crises, political parties should work together and act responsibly. He said the government has taken the right steps to handle the situation and keep things under control.
On the other hand, Congress leaders have raised concerns about the impact of the Iran conflict on India’s economy. They have warned that rising fuel prices and global instability could affect common people.
The issue has now turned into a political debate, with both sides blaming each other. While the government says it is managing the crisis effectively, the opposition is questioning its approach.
As tensions in the Middle East continue, the political disagreement in India over how to respond is likely to remain in focus.
