‘Don’t Apply Double Standards’: India Rips Into NATO For Issuing Sanction Threat Over Russian Oil

India has hit back at NATO chief Mark Rutte’s warning that countries continuing oil trade with Russia may face “100% secondary sanctions.” The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), in a strong response, said India’s top priority is securing its people’s energy needs and warned against “double standards” in the global oil market. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal asserted that India’s oil decisions are guided by market offerings and prevailing global circumstances. The comments came after Rutte, speaking in Washington, urged India, Brazil, and China to rethink their ties with Moscow or risk serious consequences.
