The unilateral stand taken by the Narendra Modi government on the Israel-Palestine war is wrong, CPI(M) Polit Bureau member M.A. Baby said on Sunday. The Modi government’s support to Israel runs counter to political justice, world peace, and India’s interests, he said.
The people of Palestine are fighting for freedom against Israel’s occupation of their soil. Independent India had always stood with Palestine’s right to self-determination, Mr. Baby said. Till recently, India did not even have diplomatic relations with Israel.
