The Centre on Wednesday convened an all-party meeting in New Delhi to brief political leaders on the rapidly evolving situation in West Asia and its possible implications for India.

The meeting, called by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, brought together senior leaders from across the political spectrum as the government sought to build consensus on its response to the ongoing regional crisis.

Union ministers present at the meeting included Amit Shah, JP Nadda, Nirmala Sitharaman, Piyush Goyal, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Hardeep Singh Puri, and Kiren Rijiju, along with other senior officials and floor leaders from various parties.

According to reports, leaders from Congress, the Samajwadi Party, the Aam Aadmi Party, the DMK, the JD(U), the Biju Janata Dal, the YSR Congress Party, and the Janasena Party were among those attending the meeting.

Notably, no representative from the Trinamool Congress was present. TMC MP Saugata Roy said the party was unable to attend as no leader from the party was available in Delhi.

The meeting came shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed both Houses of Parliament on the West Asia crisis, where he underlined India’s concerns over the conflict and its fallout.

In his remarks, the Prime Minister said the conflict has become a major source of worry for India, pointing to rising oil prices, disruptions in the supply chain, and the impact on Indian citizens in the region.

He informed Parliament that over 700 Indians had already been brought back safely from the conflict-hit zone, and assured that evacuation efforts for other stranded citizens would continue.

Modi also warned that the situation around the Strait of Hormuz remains a matter of serious concern, given its importance for global energy trade and India’s fuel security.

The government is also believed to have discussed the economic and strategic implications of the conflict, including its impact on trade routes, fertiliser supplies, and broader regional stability.

The all-party meeting is seen as part of the Centre’s broader effort to keep political stakeholders informed as the crisis deepens and India calibrates its diplomatic and strategic response.
