Political leaders expressed strong reactions ahead of the all-party meeting scheduled to address the ongoing West Asia crisis. Congress MP Saptagiri Sankar Ulaka welcomed the initiative but stressed the importance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally briefing all party leaders. This sentiment was echoed by the Opposition, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive discussion rather than a routine briefing.
From the Samajwadi Party, MP Ram Gopal Yadav raised concerns about the short notice given for the meeting. Despite the short notice, the party indicated its willingness to participate but highlighted the necessity for adequate preparation. On the other hand, BJP MP Shashank Mani Tripathi commended the government’s approach and Prime Minister Modi’s previous statements in Parliament, emphasizing the call for unified action during the crisis.
Leaders from various political parties aligned with their respective positions: Opposition members called for transparency and thorough debate, while ruling party representatives stressed the importance of coordinated efforts and backing the government’s response. The all-party meeting is set to take place at 5 P.M. within the Parliament complex today, chaired by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar expected to provide updates on the crisis and India’s diplomatic stance.
