RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0Tourism Expert Committee Chairman at the Chamber of Commerce, Subhash Goyal, has questioned why India is being singled out over its purchase of Russian oil, saying the European Union has bought \u201cmuch more gas\u201d from Moscow than India. He said, \u201cIndia will buy oil from wherever it gets the cheapest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goyal also expressed confidence that India, with its good relations with both the West and Russia, can play a \u201cvery important role\u201d in finding a peaceful resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

He also noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s upcoming visit to China, his first in seven years,\u00a0 could help advance global stability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe reaffirmed India\u2019s stance of having a peaceful resolution of the Russia-Ukraine war and India is the country that can play very important role as it has good relations with the West as well as Russia. PM is also going to China, and I hope that these developments will result in a better, safer, and more peaceful planet for us. It is high time that we resolve all our conflicts. India will buy oil from wherever it gets the cheapest, and the EU has bought much more gas from Russia than India. Why is India being targeted?\u201d Goyal asked.<\/p>\n

Without naming them, he slammed the West for supporting \u201ca terrorist state like Pakistan,\u201d saying it goes against the interests of a peaceful and better planet.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is surprising that a terrorist state like Pakistan is being supported by some countries, which is against the peaceful interests of the planet,\u201d Goyal added.<\/p>\n

This comes amid ongoing tensions after a 25 per cent additional tariff was imposed on India as a penalty for purchasing Russian oil.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Prime Minister Modi said he had a \u201cvery good and detailed\u201d telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which he thanked the Russian leader for updating him on the latest developments in Ukraine. The two leaders reviewed bilateral cooperation and reaffirmed their commitment to deepening the India-Russia Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership. Modi invited Putin to visit India later this year for the 23rd Annual Bilateral Summit.<\/p>\n

According to the Ministry of External Affairs, the call took place amid \u201congoing tensions\u201d following the US tariff decision. President Putin briefed PM Modi on Ukraine and both sides reiterated their desire to strengthen long-standing ties. (ANI)<\/p>\n
