He noted that the world has faced a series of rapid shocks- first the pandemic, then the Russia-Ukraine war, and now the crisis in West Asia. PM Modi emphasized that his government’s priority is to ensure that Indian citizens and farmers do not bear the burden of these distant wars.
Addressing recent concerns over cooking gas, Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly criticized those attempting to spread fear among the public. He stated that certain individuals are "creating unnecessary panic" regarding LPG supplies to serve their own hidden agendas.
This misinformation, he noted, does not just mislead people but actively hurts the country’s stability during an already challenging global energy crisis.
The Prime Minister also issued a stern warning to "unscrupulous elements" trying to exploit the situation. He made it clear that the government will take strict legal action against anyone caught hoarding or engaging in the black-market trading of essential products.
