New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is chairing a high-level meeting to review India’s security preparedness, and the prevailing global scenario in the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, sources have said.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar are among those attending the meeting. NSA Ajit Doval and other senior officials are at the meeting as well.
The three chiefs of Army, Navy and the Air Force are also present at the meeting.
On Thursday, addressing BJP workers after the party’s big win in the latest round of state elections, PM Modi said India’s needs are connected to both Russia and Ukraine, but the country is on the side of peace and hopes that all problems get resolved through dialogue.
“India has a connection with the countries involved in the war – economically, security wise, education wise and politically as well. India’s several needs are connected to these countries,” PM Modi said.
