Gadkari Calls Oil Import As Indirect Terror Funding

Gadkari is pushing for green hydrogen amongst surging petrol and diesel prices. According to a formal statement he has made, India is indirectly financing terrorism by making countries richer when we import petrol and diesel.

Speaking at an event, the media quoted the Road, transport and highways minister saying that “Green hydrogen is better than petrol and diesel. The transport sector is witnessing a big change. We want to make a country which will not be dependent upon the import of petrol and diesel but will export fuel,” the road transport and highways minister said, adding that this was a nationalistic view.” By importing petrol and diesel, Gadkari, who is known for his frank views, said, “We are making countries richer which also finance terrorism.”

The world is under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint as surging environmental temperatures are risking the whole Earth’s survival and various ecosystems.  Stressing on our dependency on imports, he said, the same should be thought about metals like aluminum and copper, which strangely, India has in abundance and does not need to import.
