New Delhi, March 25, 2026 — Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will chair a crucial all-party meeting at 5 PM on Wednesday to discuss the ongoing West Asia crisis and its impact on India.
Top Leaders to Attend Key Meeting
The high-level meeting will see participation from senior government leaders, including:

Additionally, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri will brief political leaders on the current situation in West Asia.
West Asia Conflict Enters Fourth Week
The conflict in West Asia has now entered its fourth week, significantly affecting global stability.
Tensions escalated after the reported killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in joint strikes by the US and Israel on February 28.
In response, Iran launched retaliatory attacks targeting US and Israeli assets across Gulf countries. As a result, key trade routes, especially the Strait of Hormuz, have been disrupted.
Impact on Global Economy and India
The ongoing crisis has:
- Disrupted global energy supplies
- Increased volatility in oil prices
- Affected international trade routes
- Raised concerns for Indians living in Gulf countries
Therefore, the situation holds significant importance for India’s economic and strategic interests.
PM Modi Calls for Unified Response
Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged coordinated efforts between the Centre and state governments to address the challenges arising from the crisis.
Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, he described the situation as a “major test” for the country.
He emphasized:
- Ensuring benefits of welfare schemes reach the poor
- Supporting migrant workers
- Promoting global peace and dialogue
Focus on National Preparedness
The all-party meeting aims to build consensus and ensure preparedness in dealing with the evolving situation.
Moreover, discussions are expected to focus on safeguarding India’s economic interests, energy security, and the well-being of citizens abroad.
With geopolitical tensions rising and global markets affected, the meeting chaired by Rajnath Singh is expected to play a key role in shaping India’s response strategy. A unified political approach will be crucial in navigating the challenges posed by the West Asia crisis.
