After this meeting, Tharoor said that Jaishankar gave clear answers to the questions and concerns of the opposition parties in the all-party meeting of the Consultative Committee on Foreign Affairs on Ukraine. Thanking the External Affairs Minister for this, Tharoor praised the foreign policy of the Modi government. He said that the foreign policy of the country should go at this speed. Tharoor said that the parties and the opposition get united under the 'India First Policy' on issues of national interest. At the same time, Congress MPs supported India's policy of abstaining from voting on the censure motion against Russia in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

At the same time, Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of China and Pakistan in this meeting. He said that both these countries are coming closer to Russia, but right now the priority of the country is to evacuate the students from Ukraine. He also said that the response was delayed and the advisory was confusing. Now there is a need to work together in this crisis.
