Congress Parliamentary Party chief Sonia Gandhi on Saturday alleged that the Modi government has distanced himself from the moral and traditional trend of India, keeping silence on the status of Gaza and the Israeli-Iran military struggle and also kept values. He also said that the government should speak and use every diplomatic medium available to encourage dialogue in West Asia.
In an article written in the English daily “The Hindu”, the former Congress president alleged that the Modi government has abandoned India’s theoretical stance in the form of two nations in the form of Israel and Palestine. Sonia Gandhi said in the article, “Iran has been a long -time friend of India and is associated with us with deep civilization. It has a history of strong support on important occasions including Jammu and Kashmir. ”
He mentioned that in 1994, Iran had helped to stop a proposal criticizing India in the United Nations Human Rights Commission on the Kashmir issue. The former Congress president said, “In fact, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been a far more partner with India than its predecessor, Iran’s royal kingdom, which was inclined towards Pakistan in the 1965 and 1971 wars.” He also said, “India and Israel have also developed strategic relations in recent decades. This unique situation gives our country moral responsibility and diplomatic opportunities to reduce stress and act as a bridge for peace.
According to him, millions of Indian citizens are living and working all over West Asia, which makes peace in the region a significant national interest. Sonia Gandhi said that Israel’s recent action against Iran has been possible with almost unconditional support of powerful western countries. He wrote in the article, “India clearly condemned the absolutely frightening and completely unacceptable attacks carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023. We cannot keep quiet about Israel’s inconsistent response. More than 55,000 Palestinians have lost their lives. The whole family, neighborhood and even hospitals have been destroyed. Gaza stands on the verge of famine, and its civilian population is facing inexplicable difficulty. ”
The lead leader of the Congress claimed that in front of this human tragedy, the Narendra Modi government has fully abandoned India’s long -term and theoretical commitment for two nations solutions, imagining a sovereign, independent valented as a sovereign, independent valented who stayed with Israel with mutual safety and honor. He alleged, “New Delhi’s silence on the devastation in Gaza and now the unrelated action against Iran is represented to separate from our moral and diplomatic traditions.” This is not only to lose the voice, but to keep the values on hold. ”
Sonia Gandhi said, “It is still not late. India should speak clearly, act responsibly and use every diplomatic medium available to reduce stress and promote interaction in West Asia. ”
