The Congress party on Tuesday called Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to speak on the Gaza crisis, called its silence “deeply disappointing” and “height of moral cowardice”.
Congress President Mallikrajun Kharge wrote in a piece of opinion in Deenik Jagran on Monday that the ideas of Congress Parliamentary Party President Sonia Gandhi were reiterated that the Modi -led government was a “silent spectator” in the Gaza crisis.
In a post on X, Kharge said, “This is a height of moral cowardice. In clear and bold words from the legacy that India has represented, the time has come to raise a strong voice. Today, the global South is once again waiting for the leadership of India on the issue that shakes the collective conscience of all humanity.”
He said that India was one of the first countries to recognize both the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestine state. “India has always been a supporter of a two-state solution and is a peaceful peace between Israel and Palestine. In 1974, under the leadership of Indira Gandhi, India became the first non-Arab country to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which is the only and legitimate representative of the people of Palestine.
Sonia Gandhi said in her article that the Gaza Sangharsh had “revealed one of the most serious weaknesses in the global order”. He criticized the lack of action on the proposals of the United Nations General Assembly, who was calling for a permanent and unconditional ceasefire, saying they have been completely ignored. ,
As India being a “symbol of global justice” and inspiring the anti-colonial movements, raising a voice against imperialism, and especially a supporter of a two-state solution, the Congress leader called the Prime Minister to speak against the killing of more than 55,000 Palestinians, including 17,000 children.
