"Find a middle path": BJD MP Sasmit Patra urges Midle East to return to the negotiating table

BJD MP Sasmit Patra urges US, Israel, Iran to negotiate, warning prolonged West Asia conflict risks energy, economy, and global stability.

"try to find a middle path of negotiation and come back to the negotiating table - Sasmit Patra"

New Delhi, March 23

BJD MP Sasmit Patra on Monday urged the US, Israel, and Iran to return to the negotiating table over the escalating West Asia conflict, warning that a prolonged clash could worsen the energy crisis, destabilize global economies, and heighten geopolitical tensions.

He stressed the need for dialogue, cooperation, and collaboration to prevent further bloodshed and global polarization.

Speaking to ANI, Patra said,"This conflict in West Asia is becoming more and more troubled as the day goes by... I would still urge that all three countries primarily involved in this conflict, the US, Israel, and Iran, try to find a middle path of negotiation and come back to the negotiating table and try to ensure that this conflict does not get any bloodier."

He added, "If this conflict gets long-drawn, it will have a huge impact in terms of the energy crisis, destroying the value that economies have built post-COVID. It'll have a huge negative impact in terms of geopolitics and will polarise the world. While the time is still there, we need to pull back and find ways and avenues of collaboration, cooperation, and discussion rather than of conflict."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the Lok Sabha at 2 PM today amid the ongoing budget session of Parliament, outlining key aspects of the ongoing West Asia conflict and India's position on the matter.

Prime Minister's Office, the Cabinet Secretary gave a detailed presentation on the global situation and the mitigating measures taken so far and being planned regarding the conflict by all concerned Ministries/Departments of the Government of India.

The expected impact and measures taken to address it across sectors like agriculture, fertilisers, food security, petroleum, power, MSMEs, exporters, shipping, trade, finance, supply chains and all affected sectors were discussed. The overall macro-economic scenario in the country and further measures to be taken were also discussed.

The ongoing conflict in West Asia will have significant short, medium and long term impact on the global economy and its effect on India was assessed, and counter-measures, both immediate and long-term, were discussed.

A detailed assessment of availability for critical needs of the common man, including food, energy and fuel security, was made. Short term, medium-term and long-term measures to ensure the continued availability of essential needs were discussed in detail.

It's good to see our leaders thinking about the global impact, but I hope the PM's address focuses on concrete steps for India. We have millions of citizens working in the Gulf. Their safety and the stability of remittances are crucial for many families back home.

While I appreciate the sentiment, is India's voice loud enough on the global stage to make them "return to the table"? We have strategic ties with all sides - US, Israel, and Iran. We must use that position wisely, not just make appeals. Action matters more.

The focus on food and fuel security for the common man is the most important part. My worry is about fertilizer prices and the upcoming Kharif season. If input costs soar, farmers will suffer, and food inflation will hit everyone. The government's mitigation plans need to be strong.

Global polarization is a real danger. India has always stood for non-alignment and peace. In a world choosing sides, we must champion dialogue. Proud that an Indian MP is saying this clearly. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

The impact on MSMEs and exporters is a huge concern. Many small businesses are still fragile post-COVID. Disruptions in shipping and supply chains could be the final blow. Hope the cabinet meeting yielded some solid support measures for them.
