Govt handling of West Asia crisis 'remarkable', says JD(U) MP Jha

JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha praises PM Modi's handling of the West Asia crisis, citing control and new fuel supply measures amid global tensions.

"The way the government has managed the situation is commendable. - Sanjay Kumar Jha"

New Delhi, April 2

JD MP Sanjay Kumar Jha on Thursday commented on the ongoing West Asia situation, stating that the crisis was not created by India or its government, but the Centre's management of the situation has been "remarkable."

Speaking to reporters, Jha said the crisis has been continuing for over a month and has affected several parts of the world. "The crisis has been going on for more than a month. In many places across the world, restrictions have been imposed, and in some regions, emergency-like or even lockdown-like situations have emerged. Prices of petrol and diesel have increased in our neighbouring countries as well," he said.

He claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had addressed the issue from the very beginning. "From day one, the Prime Minister spoke about the situation in Parliament and during all-party meetings. What we are seeing on the ground is that the government, with the Prime Minister personally monitoring the situation, has kept everything under control," Jha said.

Jha further noted that while the government has been taking all necessary steps, reports of panic buying have surfaced. "We are hearing that due to fear, some people are stockpiling essential items. At the same time, the Opposition has also spread confusion regarding the situation," he alleged.

He, however, expressed confidence in the public's trust in the government. "People have understood the situation and have faith in Prime Minister Modi. We are importing fuel and are also exploring new sources and destinations for supplies. This is a significant step," he said.

Reiterating his point, Jha emphasized that the crisis was global in nature. "This is not a crisis created by India or its government. Despite this, the way the government has managed the situation is commendable. I have said many times that the Opposition often tries to find opportunities in times of crisis," he added.

Meanwhile, West Asia remains engulfed in escalating tensions, with US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran triggering retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the region. Iran has reportedly targeted US bases in Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, while Israel continues strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The conflict has begun to impact global energy markets, with disruptions in Saudi and Qatari oil output raising concerns over supply through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

While I appreciate the government's efforts, calling the handling 'remarkable' feels like a stretch. The panic buying he mentions is a direct result of mixed signals and lack of clear communication to the public. We need more transparency.

The Strait of Hormuz is a lifeline. Any disruption there sends shockwaves everywhere. The government's focus on diversifying energy imports is the right long-term strategy. Jha is correct, this is a global crisis not of our making.

As someone living in Delhi, the anxiety is real. Hearing leaders express confidence is good, but we need to see concrete steps to shield the common man from inflation. Hope the new supply deals materialize quickly.

The PM monitoring the situation personally does inspire confidence. In a complex geopolitical scenario, India has to walk a tightrope. So far, the balance seems okay. Let's hope for a peaceful resolution in West Asia soon.

The opposition does have a role to ask questions, that's democracy. But turning every crisis into a political blame game helps no one. We should all be hoping the government's measures work, for the sake of every Indian's pocket.
