Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the ongoing conflict in West Asia has created a serious situation over the past month, affecting several countries.
Speaking during 132nd episode of Mann Ki Baat, he expressed gratitude to Gulf nations for supporting nearly 10 million Indians living in the region. He said these countries have provided all necessary help and facilities to Indian citizens during the crisis.
“At present, a severe conflict has been ongoing for the past month. I am deeply grateful to the Gulf countries for providing all necessary support and facilities to nearly 10 million Indians living there,” said PM Modi.
