New Delhi, November 10, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi enjoys widespread acceptance among world leaders, citing his recent telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Speaking to IANS, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal said the conversation reflected India’s growing stature on the global stage and the confidence world leaders place in Modi.
“This proves that Prime Minister Narendra Modi enjoys widespread acceptance among world leaders. Today, whenever there is a crisis in the world or a situation resembling a war between two countries, everyone looks towards India. This reflects India’s stature. The way Prime Minister Narendra Modi has enhanced India’s standing over the past 12 years is reflected in this conversation,” Khandelwal said.
Congress MP Imran Masood, however, urged caution while discussing the geopolitical implications of the interaction. “Given where we stand in terms of geopolitics, we should speak about all these issues very carefully and with due consideration,” he said.
On Monday, Modi shared details of his telephone conversation with Zelensky in a post on X. He said the two leaders reviewed bilateral cooperation and agreed to strengthen India-Ukraine ties.
Modi also said he thanked Zelensky for sharing his views on the ongoing conflict, its humanitarian aspects and efforts to restore peace. He reiterated India’s commitment to contributing towards a peaceful resolution.
Zelensky said he had briefed Modi on the latest diplomatic developments ahead of the upcoming peace talks in Abu Dhabi. He said Ukraine was preparing for every item on the meeting’s agenda and called on Russia to demonstrate a similar willingness to de-escalate.
Zelensky also recalled that Modi had repeatedly conveyed, including directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin, that the time had come to end the war rather than continue it.
