NEW DELHI: After PM Narendra Modi made a statement in both houses of Parliament on the West Asia conflict, govt has called an all-party meeting over the issue on Wednesday as it seeks to address the points raised by different parties and present a united face over the spiralling crisis.Senior govt functionaries, including defence minister Rajnath Singh, home minister Amit Shah and foreign minister S Jaishankar, are likely to be present in the first such meeting over an issue that has drawn criticism from opposition over govt’s response.In his statements in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, Modi has emphasised on the challenge to India posed by the conflict as energy supply to the country has been affected due to Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and the presence of a huge Indian diaspora in Gulf countries.“Due to these reasons, India’s concerns are naturally greater. Therefore, it is essential that a unanimous and united voice from Parliament reaches the world,” he has said.
