CPI(M) MP John Brittas on Tuesday called on the Indian government to move a resolution condemning the military actions by the U.S. and Israel in Iran, drawing parallels with the 2003 Iraq war resolution under then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
Speaking during the zero hour in the Rajya Sabha, Brittas emphasized the need for a unified and clear stance from India on the ongoing conflict, stating that the silence from India’s leadership was ‘immoral and illegal’. He urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to acknowledge and address the broader conflict in public discourses.
Brittas highlighted potential repercussions on Indians, notably the 700 seafarers stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, and pressed for a communication mechanism for affected families. He also pointed to the significant remittances from the Gulf region to Kerala, underscoring economic impacts.
