Congress MP and Chairperson of the Standing Committee on External Affairs, Shashi Tharoor, discusses the consequences of the West Asia conflict on India. He highlights that oil prices have spiked from $65 to $83 per barrel since the war began, and Qatar has declared force majeure on gas supplies, affecting factories from India to Korea. With nine to ten million Indians living in the Gulf region, Tharoor emphasises the impact on remittances, travel, and businesses. On India’s diplomatic stance, he states that governments must protect national interests and that ‘expressing condolences on the assassination of a head of state is a normal thing to do’. Regarding the US sanctions waiver on Russian oil purchases, Tharoor explains that companies need the waiver to avoid being frozen out of global markets. He defends India’s approach of maintaining communication channels with both Iran and Israel, noting that silence can sometimes provide strategic benefits in international diplomacy.
