Abstention at the UN
India has failed Palestine. India abstaining from voting on the resolution adopted by the United Nations General Assembly calling for a “humanitarian truce and ceasefire in Gaza” shows that India too is behaving like the veto nations that are not in favour of peace prevailing and humanitarian efforts taking place on a war footing (Page 1, October 29). New Delhi should not lose sight of decades of Israeli atrocities in and illegal occupation of the Gaza Strip.
