Arvind Kejriwal said at a press conference in Delhi, “LPG is used for cooking in homes, restaurants and other places. There is a huge shortage of LPG in our country. The daily production has reduced by almost 50 per cent. In our country, 60 per cent of LPG consumption is imported, and 90 per cent of that import comes through the Strait of Hormuz. Now, the Strait of Hormuz The supply which used to come to India through LPG has stopped. Due to this, the supply of LPG in our country has reduced by about 50-55 percent.

Kejriwal further said, ‘All this is happening because of the Iran-Israel war. Only ships from countries friendly to Iran are being allowed to enter. The biggest mistake of our PM is that he went to meet Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu and announced clear support to Israel and America.

Let us tell you that due to Iran-America war, the Strait of Hormuz has been jammed, ships of many countries including India are stranded here. Iran claims that Hormuz is under its control. The United Nations has warned that if the Strait of Hormuz is closed amid the Middle East conflict, global trade and development could face major risks, including rising food prices and the cost of living.

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) said in a report on Tuesday that the US-Israeli attacks on Iran and Tehran’s retaliatory military escalation in the region have disrupted shipping flows through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most vital maritime chokepoints. The narrow passage carries about a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil trade and vast quantities of liquefied natural gas and fertilizer.

“The resulting impacts will reach far beyond the region, impacting energy markets, maritime transport and global supply chains,” the report said. “Higher costs of energy, fertilizer and transport – including freight rates, bunker fuel prices and insurance premiums – could drive up food costs and increase cost-of-living pressures, especially for the most vulnerable,” it said.
