Stand with India's interests: PM on West Asia conflict

Modi's focus on Gulf nations

Modi highlighted India's long-standing presence in the Middle East and its commitment to peace, especially as tensions rise between Iran and Gulf nations.
With nearly 1 crore Indians living and working in the Gulf countries, the government has overseen evacuations and is working through diplomatic and operational measures to ensure the safety and safe passage of its nationals.

Criticism of previous governments

Modi also criticized previous governments for leaving behind a heavy fuel debt from 2004-2010, saying his administration had to repay over ₹3 lakh crore in oil bonds that burdened future generations.
