Government assures of 'Enough energy stock available, more ships to arrive soon' at all-party meet

The central government on March 25 held an all-party meeting to discuss the ongoing West Asia crisis. The meeting took place inside the Parliament building and brought together leaders from across political parties to review the situation. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh chaired the meeting, while External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, along with senior officials, briefed leaders on the latest developments and India’s preparedness.

During the meeting, the government delivered a clear and reassuring message, stating that the overall situation remains under control and there is no need for panic. It emphasised that India is handling the developments with caution and confidence.

A detailed presentation by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, followed by remarks from Jaishankar and Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, highlighted that energy security is stable.

Officials informed that there is sufficient availability of crude oil, LPG, and other essential supplies. India’s refining capacity is strong, ensuring that fuel and fertiliser supplies continue without disruption. Several shipments have already arrived, and more are expected in the coming days.

The



government also underlined its active diplomatic engagement with all sides involved in the conflict. It said India is maintaining communication with multiple countries and taking everyone on board to safeguard its interests.

Officials described the continued flow of ships and supplies as a positive sign and called it a diplomatic success. The reopening of access by Iran after a brief pause was also seen as an encouraging development.

On the safety front, the government assured that there is no immediate threat to Indian citizens. Indian embassies are actively assisting people abroad, and evacuation plans are ready if needed. The safety and well-being of citizens remain the top priority.

Addressing concerns about regional security, including reports of submarine activity near Sri Lanka, the government clarified that there is no direct threat to India. It added that any such situation would be dealt with firmly.

Several leaders shared their views during the meeting. Asaduddin Owaisi raised concerns related to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The government responded by stating that diplomatic outreach was initiated as soon as communication channels reopened.
