Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi warned that any disruption or closure of the Strait of Hormuz would directly affect India’s economy and energy supplies. He said anxiety over LPG availability was already spreading and could worsen if the conflict escalates. Stressing that energy security is fundamental for any country, Gandhi also questioned why India should allow the United States to influence decisions on where it purchases its gas from.. “The foundation of every single nation is its energy security. Allowing the United States to decide who we buy oil from, who we buy gas from, and whether we can buy oil from Russia or not. Our relationship with different oil suppliers can be decided by us. This is what has been bartered. Why a nation the size of India would allow any other nation, the President of another nation to give us permission to buy Russian oil, to decide who our relationships are with,” Rahul Gandhi said.
