India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar held a significant telephonic conversation with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi amid rising tensions in West Asia, signaling New Delhi’s proactive diplomatic engagement during a rapidly evolving crisis.
The Centre on Thursday told an all-party meeting that India cannot act like a “dalaal” (broker) in reference to the reported mediation of Pakistan in the ongoing West Asia conflict. The meeting convened at the Parliament complex to discuss the West Asia crisis was attended by eight Union ministers and several Opposition members, barring the Trinamool Congress (TMC), which boycotted the meeting.
