During a meeting of the Lok Sabha on Monday, a member said Russia should not be blamed for everything that is going on in Ukraine.
Nishikant Dubey, a member of the BJP, said the words in the House during Zero Hour to explain a statement he made in his capacity removed from the record.
In the past, Mr. Dubey had talked about the ongoing Russian attack on Ukraine during a discussion about the road transport ministry’s request for grants, but Speaker Om Birla took them out.

Congress Party leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said he didn’t like what Dubey said and responded to him. Birla said both of their comments would not be on record.
Clarifying the words taken out, Mr. Dubey said, “I had said that China is trying to control our markets, and our whole defense system is trying to protect that. Why does so much money go to China? ” He said that the British helped make a deal where Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet were buffer states between India and China.
“In a similar way, the USSR was in a similar situation. When different countries were formed out of it, there was an agreement with Ukraine that it would never join NATO. It (Russia) saw what happened to India when Tibet became a part of China, and it was very sad about it. If you look at what is going on in Ukraine, Russia should not be blamed for everything, “He said that.
Because it was a foreign policy issue, he said that the matter should get worked out and the wrong message should not be sent because it was necessary.
India hasn’t said anything about the Russian attack on Ukraine and has said that the crisis should be solved through talks and diplomacy, not by force.
