India Is On The Side Of Peace: PM Modi On Russia-Ukraine Crisis

Mumbai: While giving a speech to party workers at BJP headquarters, PM Narendra Modi spoke about the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“India has a connection with countries involved in the war – economically, security-wise, education-wise and politically as well. India’s several needs are connected to these countries,” said PM Modi while giving a victory speech to his party workers in Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) headquarters in New Delhi.

The BJP is set to return to power with the comfortable majority for a second term in Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Manipur and Uttarakhand.

Describing India’s neutrality in the Russo-Ukraine war, PM Modi said that India has good relations with both countries and appealed for peace and continuous dialogue.

“The current war is affecting every country across the world. India is in favour of peace and hopes that all problems will be resolved through deliberation,” the PM said.

He also criticized the opposition for trying to regionalize Operation Ganga to rescue stranded Indian citizens from Ukraine.

PM Modi said, “These people also tried to make Operation Ganga regional. These people have given a different colour of regionalism and communalism to every plan – this is a big concern for the future of India.”

Earlier, India and 34 other countries stayed away from the UN General Assembly resolution censoring Russia’s military action against Ukraine. India had also avoided a procedural vote by the UN Security Council to convene a General Assembly session on the Ukraine crisis.

India, along with China and the United Arab Emirates, last week avoided a US-sponsored resolution against Russia’s military action in Ukraine. Moscow used its veto against the proposal.
