India slams West’s ‘hypocrisy’ over Russian Oil imports, Trump’s Visa row | MEA

India’s Ministry of External Affairs pushed back strongly against Western pressure to cut Russian oil imports, calling out the “hypocrisy” of nations that continue energy trade with Moscow while demanding New Delhi end purchases. The statement came as India also weighed in on Donald Trump’s H-1B visa controversies, underscoring its commitment to protecting Indian professionals abroad. Officials noted that India echoed Trump’s call for EU, G7, and NATO countries to show consistency in their Russia policy instead of targeting New Delhi’s energy ties.
