Explaining the recent oil shortage in the market, India's external affairs minister said: "Look at the narrative that import has gone up nine times, it has gone up nine times from a very low base and it was a very low base because at that time markets were moron."

"Why countries in Europe and West and the United States, why don`t they allow Iranian oil in the market why don`t they allow Venezuela oil to come to the market? They have squeezed every other source of oil we have and then say you will not go to the market and get the best deal for the people, it's not a fair approach."

India's foreign minister asserted that there is a shortage of the oil in the market but dismissed reports of buying oil and "selling &nbsp;to somebody else"

"Europe has to grow up out of the mindset that Europe's problems are the world`s problem but the world`s problems are not Europe`s problem, it is you it`s yours, it is me it's ours," he said.

On relations with China, India's foreign minister acknowledged that it is a "difficult relationship" but added that the government is "perfectly capable of managing it".

"A lot of our problems in China have nothing to do with Ukraine and have nothing to do with Russia. They are predated," the foreign minister stated.

"A linkage between China and India and what's happening in Ukraine. China and India happened way before anything happened in Ukraine. The Chinese do not need a precedent somewhere else on how to engage us or not engage us or be difficult with us or not be difficult with us," the minister said.

Just hours after US President Joe Biden spoke to India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a virtual summit, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said,&nbsp;"It is important that all countries, especially those with leverage, press Putin to end the war" referring to the Ukraine war.

"It's also important that democracy stand together and speak with one voice to defend the values that we share," the US Secretary of state added.

"India is the third-largest consumer of energy..we increased energy trade with India," Blinken informed.
