Indications are that Islamic countries, angered by the BJP’s blasphemy once morest the Prophet, may announce economic sanctions once morest India. The response from India yesterday to provoke Copagni instead of extinguishing it was also provocative. Indian food items have started disappearing from the markets of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries of UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain from yesterday. With a large share of India’s exports to the Gulf region and Islamic countries, the latest development might lead to the collapse of India’s economy.
There are indications that the Islamic State, a coalition of 57 nations, is moving toward tougher measures. Secretary-General Hussein Ibrahim Taha said an urgent meeting of the Organization (OIS) would be held the next day to discuss the issue. The meeting of the Arab League nations is also being convened urgently. In the event of an economic embargo, India will face the worst fuel crisis in its history. About 84 per cent of India’s imports, including crude oil and natural gas, come from Islamic countries such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Oman.
These are the countries that have moved to protest the BJP’s blasphemy once morest the Prophet. If Islamic countries declare an oil embargo once morest India, the US will not be willing to quarrel with them and fuel India. Last year, India imported crude oil worth Rs 7,79,000 crore, according to official figures. Experts also share concerns that petrol and diesel prices might cross Rs 300 per liter in the event of an oil embargo.
The heinous blasphemy perpetrated by two BJP national spokespersons has cast a shadow over the future of millions of Indian expatriates in Islamic countries. About one crore Indians were employed in the Gulf countries alone. About half a million people have returned home due to the oil and oil crisis and the recession. If Indians are denied jobs in the name of blasphemy, regarding one and a half crore Indians will be deported.
