Since the war began, PM Modi has dialled leaders of Gulf countries and has also spoken to top leaders of Iran and the US. The Prime Minister also addressed the both Houses of the Parliament and highlighted India's push for dialogue and diplomacy. He has repeatedly called for an early cessation of hostilities and condemned attack on seafarers and blockage of strategic shipping route the Strait of Hormuz. He warned that a prolonged conflict would have "serious and unavoidable" consequences for the global economy and supply chains. He assured the nation that the government is taking "every necessary step" to ensure availability amid global energy crisis.
PM Modi also informed the Lok Sabha that over 3.75 lakh Indians have been safely brought back from conflict-hit areas so far. He expressed deep concern for the nearly one crore (10 million) Indians living and working in the Gulf, calling their safety a "top priority" for the government.
