India shouldn’t be seen endorsing regime that perpetrated genocide in Gaza: Anand Sharma
Congress leader Anand Sharma hit out at the government over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Israel visit, saying India should not be seen as endorsing a regime that has perpetrated genocide in Gaza and forced starvation on thousands of helpless Palestinians.
In a series of posts on X, the former Union Minister said Mr. Modi’s visit to Israel has raised questions and serious concerns among its traditional allies in the region and countries of the global South.
“With Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi as our inspiration, India has throughout commanded universal respect for its commitment to humanity, justice and equality. India has always, as a policy, opposed terrorism and violence in all its manifestations,” Mr. Sharma said.
“We had unequivocally condemned the October 7 Hamas attack and the brutal killing of innocent Israeli civilians. India should not therefore be seen as endorsing a regime in Israel, that has perpetrated genocide in Gaza and forced starvation on thousands of helpless Palestinian civilians, especially children, women and the old, denounced by the UN as a crime against humanity,” the Congress leader said.
India should firmly stand by its stated position on the establishment of an independent and sovereign state of Palestine within secure and defined boundaries, Mr. Sharma said. – PTI
