The comment from Pakistan regarding hoisting of the sacred saffron flag over the Ram temple in Ayodhya has once again increased the diplomatic tension between India and Pakistan. India not only rejected Pakistan’s objections, but also called them an example of double standards.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal clearly said that Pakistan’s criticism is neither factual nor has any moral basis. He said that a country whose history is full of fanaticism, dictatorial mentality and oppression of minorities is not in a position to teach religious freedom to a democratic country like India. Jaiswal also reiterated that the flag hoisting in Ayodhya is related to the cultural and spiritual beliefs of India and the opinion of any outside country has no importance in this.

Why did Pakistan raise objection?

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry in its statement had described the flag hoisted on the Ram Temple as an expression of Islamophobia. Pakistan said that this step reminds it of the events of 1992 and creates an environment of danger for religious minorities in India. Pakistan even said that international organizations should intervene in this issue.

India gave a befitting reply

India reacted sharply to this statement and said that Pakistan should pay attention to the deteriorating situation in its country before interfering in religious events in India. MEA said, incidents like pressure on religious minorities, forced conversions, attacks on temples and churches and human rights violations have been happening continuously in Pakistan. In such a situation, preaching about Pakistan is nothing more than hypocrisy.

importance of saffron flag

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoisted the sacred saffron flag on the Ram temple during a special ceremony held in Ayodhya on November 25. This event symbolized the progress of temple construction, which was celebrated one year after the consecration. For millions of devotees, it was a cultural and spiritual moment which has no connection with Pakistan.

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday (October 21) questioned the Central Government as to why US President Donald Trump is repeatedly saying that he has talked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about buying oil from Russia.

Jairam Ramesh said that Trump has repeated this claim three times in the last five days and this number may increase as he meets Russian President Vladimir Putin in Budapest this week. He said that Trump is saying that he spoke to Modi and India promised to stop buying oil from Russia, while the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has rejected this.

Trump warned India

Trump had also said on Monday that if India continues to buy oil from Russia, heavy tariffs will continue to be imposed on it. He told the media, “I spoke to Prime Minister Modi and he said that he will not buy Russian oil. But if he says so, he will continue to buy, then he will continue to pay heavy tariffs.”

Foreign Ministry had already refused the phone call

The Ministry of External Affairs had already clarified that there was no recent phone call between Modi and Trump on October 15. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said the two leaders had spoken over phone only on October 9, in which Modi congratulated Trump on the success of the Gaza peace plan and reviewed trade talks. Jaiswal also said that India’s stance on energy policy is based on national interests and safety of citizens.

Trump’s statement is being seen in the context of pressure from Western countries to reduce energy relations with Russia after the Ukraine crisis. India has said that its energy purchases are made keeping in mind the national interest and the safety of Indian consumers.

US President Donald Trump has once again taken a tough stance on India and said that if India continues to import crude oil from Russia, it will have to pay heavy import tariffs. Trump gave this statement while talking to journalists in his plane Air Force One. He said, ‘I spoke to Prime Minister Modi. He said that India will not buy Russian oil. If they do not do so, they will have to pay heavy tariffs.

The Trump administration believes that the countries buying oil from Russia are indirectly providing financial support to the Ukraine war, that is why America is continuously putting pressure on the countries buying energy from Russia. In the past months, America had requested many countries including India to reduce or stop Russian oil imports.

India has rejected Trump’s claim

Trump has already claimed that PM Modi has assured him that India will no longer buy oil from Russia. However, Trump’s claim has been rejected by the Indian Foreign Ministry. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had said that the aim of India’s energy policy is to protect the interests of its consumers. He said that India is a responsible energy importer. We take our decisions independently so that prices remain stable and supply remains diverse. India reiterated that its priority is to maintain economic balance and meet domestic needs and not to come under any political pressure.

Trump’s tariffs affected India

The Trump administration had increased the import duty on many Indian products earlier this year. This includes clothes, medicines and agricultural products. Indian industry organizations say that this policy has had a negative impact on exports. If a new tariff is imposed on the issue of Russian oil, India-US trade relations may sour.

Controversy over Modi-Trump conversation

Trump claimed in his statement that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised him not to buy Russian oil. Although the Indian government has clarified that there is no official record of any such conversation, when journalists raised questions on this, Trump said that if they did not agree, they would have to pay heavy tariffs.

India’s energy strategy

India is the third largest oil importer in the world. New Delhi says its goal is to maintain affordable, sustainable and diverse energy supply. India currently buys oil from Saudi Arabia, America, Russia and United Arab Emirates. Meanwhile, a senior official of the Energy Ministry said that oil from Russia is proving to be the cheapest deal economically, hence India considers it a part of its energy security strategy.
