00:00And at this house, the Prime Minister of India making a statement now before the Rajya Sabha,
00:06just a day after he made a statement before the Lok Sabha, calling for a unified message
00:15to go out from India, from the Indian Parliament, to use dialogue and diplomacy to de-escalate,
00:22also making it clear that the impact of the war will be a long one and for the entire
00:29country to work together to ensure India's growth.
00:33He's also talking about how there is a problem because of the attacks on commercial ships
00:40and closing of the hormones, that there is need to ensure safety and energy security for India.
00:50He's talked about making sure that the entire country works together, center-state cooperation.
00:56He's mentioned how the routine supplies of fuel, pharma, fertilizers, etc. has been affected.
01:03Let's listen in once more to what the Prime Minister has said.
01:35We are also in Iran, Israel and America with the same conversation.
01:42Our destiny is about the peace of the dialogue and diplomacy.
01:51We have talked about the de-escalation and the hormones trade.
01:57ुपार, जीए, आप अप जाने पर भी उनसे बात की है,
02:02कमर्शियल जहाजों पर हमला और होर्मोंस ट्रेड जैसे अंतराश्टे जलमारग में रुकावट, अस्विकार यहा है,
02:12भारत ने नागरीकों पर, सिविल इंफ्रासेक्टर पर, एनर्जी और ट्रांस्पोर्ट से जुड़े इंफ्रासेक्टर पर हम लोगा विरोध किया है
02:29भारत डिप्लोमसी के जरिये, युद्ध के इस माहूल में भी भारतिय जहांजों के सुरक्षित आवागमन के लिए सतत प्रयास कर
02:42रहा है
02:45भारत ने इस समस्या के समाधान के लिए समवाज का ही रास्ता सुजाया है
02:55Gaurav Savant is joining me from the newsroom on this story
02:58Gaurav, the Prime Minister talking about the global fuel crisis, the need for diplomacy and dialogue to de-escalate what
03:07is going on
03:08What is your take on what the Prime Minister has said?
03:11The nation and this part of the world, they're facing a huge challenge
03:15and Prime Minister Narendra Modi is assuring the House of efforts being undertaken by his government
03:20to ensure that people don't face a lot of hardship
03:24but he is warning of hard times ahead
03:26and quite like during the COVID era
03:29he wants the centre and states to work as one team
03:32and especially his address in Rajasabha is extremely crucial
03:36so he's listing out steps that have been undertaken so far
03:39as far as energy requirements are concerned
03:42India is heavily dependent on the Strait of Hormuz and countries in the region
03:47and how India is using dialogue and diplomacy
03:50which we've also seen in action on ground in terms of oil tankers and gas tankers
03:55Iran permitting Indian tankers or tankers destined for India
04:00to sail through the Strait of Hormuz through the Iranian waters
04:04so Prime Minister is very clear that dialogue and diplomacy is the way forward
04:08he's not in favour of Strait of Hormuz being blocked
04:11but efforts that are being undertaken
04:13and he's also urging the states to come forward and come together
04:18because something like black marketeering
04:20that's a huge challenge
04:22hoarding, that's a huge challenge
04:24now in this situation centre and states have to operate together
04:28to ensure people don't face much hardship
04:31and from what he said it's very clear there are hard times ahead
04:35you know it's the sowing season that's coming
04:38so fertilisers and a lot of requirement of our fertilisers
04:41come from this region
04:42and this is where he's saying efforts are being made to ensure
04:45that India does not have a paucity of fertilisers as of now
04:49but there should be no hoarding
04:52well Gaurav as you said
04:54the Prime Minister has called for the entire country to come together
04:57ensure that there's no hoarding
04:58ensure that we work for India's energy security
05:01what else are you picking up
05:03as the most important points
05:06that the Prime Minister has made
05:08because he's talking about
05:09within India working together
05:11as well as a diplomatic outreach
05:14to work towards peace
05:17there are hard times ahead
05:19and he's made that very clear
05:20you know he's used the word
05:23sankat
05:24or sankat lamba chalega
05:26or words to that effect
05:27so the writing is very clearly on the wall
05:29this temporary truce
05:31or the temporary hold back
05:34on part of the American president
05:36not to target energy in Iran
05:39whether it's power plants
05:41or energy infrastructure
05:42this is just a pause button
05:45for five days
05:46and this is subject to the outcome
05:48of dialogue that's taking place
05:49in multiple states
05:50it could also be seen
05:52whether
05:53this is
05:54in the past
05:55American president
05:57has engaged with Iran
05:58in dialogue
05:59and even as dialogue was on
06:01and Sayyad Abbas Araqchi
06:02Iran's foreign minister
06:03has also
06:04you know
06:05made this public
06:05on multiple occasions
06:06that America uses
06:08dialogue
06:09as an excuse
06:09to regroup
06:10rearm
06:11and then launch
06:12another attack
06:12so would this mean
06:14that after five days
06:15or in midst of this
06:16as more American resources
06:18come into the region
06:19there would be another attack
06:20that would take place
06:21on Iran
06:22and the consequences
06:23of that attack
06:24would it lead to
06:25this entire state
06:25of Hormuz region
06:26being up in flames
06:28so the prime minister
06:30is cautioning
06:31that India
06:32is forewarned
06:34forearmed
06:34better prepared
06:35resources are there
06:37you know
06:37from 27 countries
06:38that we got our energy
06:40needs from earlier
06:41now it's 41 countries
06:42when it comes to oil
06:43and 42 countries
06:44when it comes to gas
06:46so efforts are being made
06:47to find alternate sources
06:48however the hardships
06:50will remain
06:53well Gaurav

06:54the hardships

07:02whether it is
07:04fertilizers
07:05everything is going
07:06to be affected

07:08clear message

10:56संवेदन सिल्ता से काम कर रही
10:58है
10:58सभी देशों ने वहां मोजूद भारतियों
11:02के सुरक्षा का
11:03पूरा आस्वासन दिया है
11:05हाला कि
11:07ये बहुत दुखद है
11:09कि हमलों के कारण
11:11कुछ भारतियों के
11:13मुट्य हुई है और कुछ गायल भी हुए है
11:17ऐसे मुश्किल हालात में
11:20परिवायर जनों को
11:22कावश्यक मदद दी जा रही है
11:25जो गायल है
11:28उनका बहतर इलाज
11:30सुनिशित कराया जा रहा है
11:34बहुत है
12:03about the current crisis but also what will happen to all of these people in the next few years we
12:10remember what happened to the medical students who came back when the ukraine war had started
12:14and there was so much that these those students those children had to deal with their studies
12:21with their livelihoods are we seeing a similar crisis now develop when it comes to the workers
12:27and the students you know god forbid but yes the situation is extremely precarious considering
12:33class 10th and class 12th board exams uh for cbse students uh in the gulf region they've had to be
12:39canceled but alternate arrangement as the prime minister has mentioned in loksawa yesterday
12:43uh that's that's being taken care of point one point two uh even before the prime minister had
12:48traveled to israel um there were several advisories that had gone out to people who were um in iran
12:54whether there were students businessmen religious those who were there for religious tourism uh those
13:00who were there for other reasons uh that if they wanted to come they should make immediate uh
13:04arrangements and leave as quickly as possible but several left but those who didn't efforts were
13:10made to get them back through armenia and azarbaijan as you mentioned a large number of them have come
13:15back however the challenge remains huge considering it's one crore uh indians who work in the entire uh you
13:22know west asia region um and the crisis as of now does appear to be intensifying while efforts are on
13:30to ensure that uh there can be perhaps some kind of a a dialogue and india has always been a
13:36very strong
13:37advocate of dialogue and diplomacy but um you know you since you mentioned what happened in ukraine in
13:422022 i was reporting from ground zero in ukraine uh when the war started and that's the time that indian
13:49medical students were brought back in large numbers um and for some time there was a temporary uh a
13:56pause of sorts for indian students to be able to leave uh the troubled areas get to safer zone and
14:02then the conflict started once again and unfortunately that conflict has been on uh for four years and
14:08counting and intensifying in various phases it's on even now in 2026 march um and and god forbid there
14:15are apprehensions that this conflict unless there is a a solution found as quickly as possible this
14:22also could spiral um and and go out of control and could then become a forever war even though america
14:29american president donald trump he's repeatedly saying this will not be a forever war but all indications
14:35appear to be and especially with troops being mobilized um and and two marine expeditionary units
14:40uh one uh from uh san diego and the other from wakirawa uh when they are coming to this area
14:46when america is talking about taking control of karga island and several other islands in this area
14:51it does appear the situation could go from bad to worse well uh that is an analysis that is a
14:58very
14:58very pointed analysis that you're making gaurav with uh thank you for the analysis and let's listen
15:04and once more uh to what the prime minister has said in the rajasabha as gaurav said a lot of
15:10warnings
15:10a lot of conversation about the preparation that india as a whole is making as the war continues
15:18in its third week let's listen in to the prime minister once more
15:25sabhapati ji
15:26ई पुर्मुस्ट्रेट्ट्रेट्ट्रेट्रेट के सबसे बड़े रूट्स्ट्रेट्रे में से एक है कि विश्ध विशेस्तावर पर कच्च्चे तेर गैस और फटिलाजर से
15:42जूड़ा परिवहन इस खेत्र से बहुत बड़ी मात्रा में होता है कि युद्द्र केski बाद
15:56ुपुण हो गया है लेकिन विप्रित परिस्तितियों के बावजूत हमारी सरकार ने समवाद से कुटनिती के माध्यम से रास्ते बनाने
16:10का प्रयास किया है प्रयास यह है कि जहां से भी संभव हो वहां से तेल और गैस की सप्लाई
16:19भारत पहुंचे ऐसी हर कोशिश के नतीजे
16:24भी देश देख रहा है बीते कुछ दिनों में दुनिया के अने एक देशों से कच्चा तेल और ल्पीजी से
16:35भरे जहाज भारत आए है आने वाले समय में ये संकट हमारे देश की बड़ी परिक्षान लेने वाला है
16:48और इस परिक्षा में सभणता के लिए राज्यों का सहयोग बहुत आवश्यक है इसलिए इस सदन के माद्यम से में
17:00देश के सभी राज्यों की सरकारों से भी कुछ आगरह करना चाहता हूँ
17:06संकट के समय गरीबों पर स्रमीकों पर प्रवासी साथियों पर बहुत बुरा असर पड़ता है
17:16इसलिए पी-एम गरीब करना अन्य योजना का लाब समय पर मिलता रहे ये सुनिश्चित करना होगा
17:26जहां प्रवासी समिक साथि काम करते हैं उनकी परशानियों को दूर करने के लिए प्रोएक्टिव कदम उठाए जाए
17:35ऐसी सिटिव पर नजर रखने के लिए राज सरकारें विशेस व्यवस्ताएं करें तो इससे काफी सुविदा होगी
17:45राज सरकारों को एक और चुनोती पर भी बहुत अधिक धान देना होगा
17:52ऐसे समय में काला बाजारी करने वाले जवाखोरी करने वाले बहुत एक्टिव हो जाते हैं
18:02जहां से भी ऐसी शुकायते आती हैं वहाँ तर्परीत कारवाई होनी चाहिए
18:09संकट चाहे कितना भी बड़ा हो भारत की तेज ग्रोध बनाए रखना हम सभी का दाईत्व है
18:19हमें इसके लिए हर जरूरी कदम, हर जरूरी रिफर्म्स तेजी से करते रहने होंगे
18:27ये राज्य सरकारों के पास बहुत बड़ा आउसर भी है
18:32ये टीम इंडिया के भी बहुत बड़ी परिख्षा है
18:36कोरोना के महा संकट में केंद्रा और राज्यों ने टीम इंडिया बनकर कोविड मेनेजिमेंट का एक बहतरीन मॉडल सामने रखा
18:47था
18:48अलग-अलग पुलिटिकल पार्टी की सरकारे होने के बावजुद टेस्टिंग वैक्सिनेशन से लेकर जरूरी चिजों की आपूरती तीम इंडिया के
19:01प्रयासों से ही सुनिश्चित हो पाई थी
19:03हमें उसी भावना के साथ आगे भी काम करना है सभी राज्य सरकारों और क्रेंज सरकार के प्रयासों से देश
19:14इस गंबीर वैश्विक संकट का प्रभावी रुप से सामना कर पाएगा

21:00।
21:00।
21:00much ready. We all are very much equipped to fight the upcoming, you know, the situation,
21:06the challenging situation, which is now happening day by day. So that's a very big message which
21:12is now coming in from our prime minister. And that is a message to all the opposition
21:15political parties. At the same time, Nishantar prime minister has now made it very, very clear
21:20that we have enough sources of energy. We are very much prepared to deal with the situation.
21:26We also have, you know, amount of petroleum and diesel projects. We are in talks with
21:35various other countries. We have diversified our talks with various other countries from
21:4027 to 41. The number of countries have increased. We are in talks with them. And, you know, we
21:46have enough resources. So no need to panic, no need to worry about anything. At the same
21:52time, Prime Minister has said that in the last 11 years, the government, Modi government
21:57has focused on electrification of various departments, including railway. He has also said that the
22:04network of metro has also been increased, which is also certainly going to give a huge relief
22:08to the people. So the one message which is now coming in from Prime Minister's speech is
22:13that we are for peace, dialogue. We are for de-escalation. We cannot accept any kind of
22:19attack. They are all on the ships in the state of Homo. We are also not only in talks with
22:25the
22:26Gulf countries, with Iran, but also in talks with Israel, America. So a whole lot of approach
22:33is being extended by the team, Narendra Modi, as far as dealing with this crisis is concerned.
22:37And the message to countrymen that we have enough resources and no need to panic. And as far as,
22:42you know, dealing with this situation is concerned, everyone should work together.
22:48Every state government must come together and work as Team India.
