Senior Congress Leader and MP Manish Tewari  questioned the Centre over sovereignty as the United States allowed a 30-day waiver for India to purchase Russian oil amid a crisis in the Gulf hampering shipping routes that pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had earlier  announced that the short-term measure to counter Iran during the conflict in West Asia, which has severely affected the Gulf countries supplying crude oil.
In an X post, Tewari asked if India required permission from the US to decide on its energy sources. Slamming the US for its “neo-imperial arrogance,” the Congress leader wrote, “‘Issuing a 30-day waiver’- The sanctimonious language of condensation drips with neo- imperial arrogance. Are we a banana republic that we need the permission of the US to secure our energy security imperatives?”
