Prime Minister Narendra Modi is chairing a meeting with chief ministers of non-poll-bound states on the situation arising out of the West Asia crisis. The interaction, scheduled just days after the Prime Minister called on states to function collectively as “Team India,” will be conducted virtually, similar to the format adopted during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This will mark the first instance of the Prime Minister holding talks with chief ministers on the West Asia conflict, which erupted on February 28 after strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran. Tehran has since responded with attacks on Israel and neighbouring Gulf countries.
