He also said that some people are trying to black-market certain products by taking advantage of the present situation, and warned that action will be taken against such unscrupulous elements.
“Some people are trying to create panic on LPG. Without making a political point, I will say they are not only exposing themselves before people but hurting the country,” Modi said.
The prime minister also said that everyone has a key role to play in dealing with the present crisis arising out of the conflict in West Asia – be it political parties, media, youth, cities or villages.
Despite many global crises, world leaders and experts look to India with great hope, which raises India’s responsibilities too, Modi said.
“The entire world knows today that if you want to be part of the future, you must connect with and be in India,” he said.
“There is one goal, one destination, which is a developed India. India is not just progressing, it is moving to the next level,” he added.
The prime minister also said that the world is passing through a difficult phase, but India is moving ahead at a fast and steady pace.
“Several global leaders are saying that India is becoming the centre of gravity for the entire world,” Modi said. (PTI)
