Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticised Congress over its remarks on the West Asia conflict. Speaking in Kerala, he said the party has “betrayed” the trust of people working in Gulf countries. He warned that such comments could risk the safety of Indians abroad. Modi said “irresponsible statements” may harm India’s relations with West Asian nations. He added that strong diplomatic ties are helping protect Indian citizens. The government is also working to bring back stranded fishermen from Iran and nearby regions. The remarks come ahead of the Kerala assembly elections, with campaigning intensifying across the state before voting on April 9.
