‘Googlies being bowled from Washington’: Congress seeks discussion on Middle East situation in Parliament budget session

As Parliament prepares to reconvene next week, the Indian National Congress has called for a focused discussion on the deteriorating situation in the Middle East, particularly following the recent US-Israel military actions against Iran. Party leaders have voiced significant concerns regarding the implications of these developments for India's international reputation and its impact on the Indian diaspora residing in the region. The Congress party emphasizes the need for a robust debate in Parliament to address these pressing issues, which they believe are crucial for safeguarding India's interests abroad. This call for discussion comes in light of increasing geopolitical tensions that could potentially affect not only the stability of the Middle East but also India's foreign relations and economic ties. The Congress's appeal reflects a broader anxiety about India's role on the global stage and its responsibility towards its citizens living in conflict zones. As the budget session approaches, the party aims to ensure that these critical matters are given due attention in legislative discussions.
