Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the world has yet to return to a stable path of progress after the Covid-19 pandemic, with recurring conflicts continuing to disrupt recovery.
He asserted that the ongoing crisis caused by the war in West Asia would be overcome by the country’s 1.4 billion together.
Modi pointed to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, now over a month old, underlining its direct implications for the country, particularly on energy security.
The region where the war is currently going on is a major centre of our energy needs. On account of that, a crisis is emerging around the world regarding petrol and diesel, he said.
Modi issued a call for collective restraint and vigilance and urged all his countrymen that we must unitedly overcome this challenge.
He highlighted the Gyan Bharatam survey to document manuscripts and the role of MY Bharat in engaging youth in policymaking, including a nationwide budget quiz that saw participation from lakhs of young people.
Modi lauded captain Paras Dogra and bowler Aaqib Nabi for their performances in recent sporting successes, such as India’s T20 World Cup victory and Jammu and Kashmir’s first Ranji Trophy title in nearly seven decades.
