Rajeev Chandrasekhar Warns Gulf Conflict Puts Malayali Lives and Livelihoods At Risk

In his interview at NDTV Power Play Keralam, BJP Kerala President Rajeev Chandrasekhar said any conflict in the Middle East directly impacts Malayali families- from disrupted remittances to fears for the safety of workers across GCC nations. Criticising the CPM and Congress for "appeasement‑driven" reactions to the Iran-Israel tensions, he said India must focus on protecting its citizens abroad, not taking sides. Chandrasekhar added that the BJP has activated help desks across all districts to assist families as uncertainty grows for thousands of Malayalis working in the Gulf.
