India's Opposition Protests Energy Crisis, Questions Government's Foreign Policy

The Narendra Modi government does not have a specific position on the war situation in the Middle East. The energy crisis in India is due to policy paralysis. Opposition MPs joined the protest in the Parliament complex on Wednesday. Opposition MPs in the Parliament complex held placards that read: LPG Missing, Empty Cylinders, Empty Promise. Congress President and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge was present at the protest. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge in his'X'post today posed a series of questions to the Prime Minister on the fuel price hike. Apart from questioning the foreign policy of the Narendra Modi government, he also questioned why an Indian flag ship with about 1,100 sailors on board is stuck in the Strait of Hormuz, worth about ₹10,000 crore. He also questioned why the ship is being held up. The Prime Minister also claimed in Parliament that fuel is imported from 27 to 41 countries now. LNG and LPG, along with crude oil, are now being supplied. He also asked why fuel prices are rising in the country.
