Opposition MPs Protest in Parliament Over LPG Supply Issue

Ahead of an all-party meeting on the West Asia conflict, opposition MPs on Wednesday staged a protest in the Parliament premises over the LPG supply issue.

The ongoing conflict in West Asia has entered its fourth week, disrupting trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz. Tensions escalated after the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in joint military strikes by the US and Israel on February



28.

In retaliation, Iran targeted Israeli and US assets across several Gulf countries, further disrupting the vital waterway and impacting global energy markets and economic stability. 

TMC MP Saugata Roy criticised the government, stating that it had failed to handle the LPG crisis effectively. He said people were facing significant hardships and demanded a quick resolution to the issue.
