NEW DELHI: Pitching for the faster adoption of alternative fuels for vehicles, Union road transport minister Nitin Gadkari said on Monday that reducing the import and use of petroleum products will address \u201cseveral\u201d concerns of India. He said a section of those who have made good profit from the sale of crude oil provide \u201cfund\u201d for terrorism.
\nThe minister said he has kept his promise to the then RSS Sarsanghachalak, K S Sudarshan that he would continue the campaign for reducing import and increase export and he continues to do so. \u201cThis is a Swadeshi and nationalist approach. Why should we import? People who have become wealthy by selling diesel and petrol have also financed the terrorists. We are number three in the import of petrol and diesel in the world. If we stop importing these, we will find solutions to many of our problems,\u201d Gadkari said while addressing a business meet organised by International Vaish Federation in Delhi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
