Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat stated that various countries believe India has the potential to end the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Opposition leaders from Congress and the Samajwadi Party supported this view, emphasizing India’s role as a mediator. Bhagwat made these remarks during a Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) event in Nagpur, highlighting India’s capabilities recognized by other nations.
Samajwadi Party MLA Abu Azmi, in response to Bhagwat’s comments, urged swift action, expressing concerns over the repercussions of the conflict on the region. He specifically mentioned the challenges faced due to the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) crisis, emphasizing the need for India’s intervention to address the situation promptly. Congress MP Tariq Anwar echoed similar sentiments, noting that India has not played a proactive role in the conflict as expected by many.
Additionally, Anwar raised concerns about the timing of the conflict, linking it to the Prime Minister’s visit to Israel. He suggested a lack of clarity regarding India’s stance and responsibilities in the situation. Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party leader S. T. Hasan expressed solidarity with Iran while also acknowledging India’s potential to act as a mediator in the conflict. RSS chief Bhagwat emphasized the importance of harmony over conflict, attributing wars to self-interest and advocating for a global shift towards peace.
