Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi strongly criticised India’s silence on Israel’s devastation in Gaza and Iran as “not just a loss of its voice, but also a surrender of values”.In an article – “It is still not too late for India’s voice to be heard”, she accused the Narendra Modi government of abandoning India’s long-standing and principled commitment to a peaceful two-nation solution envisioning an independent Palestine along with Israel.
Gandhi, in the article, was also critical of US President Donald Trump for following a “destructive path” in West Asia, after having spoken against America’s endless wars.
“New Delhi’s silence on the devastation in Gaza and now on the unprovoked escalation against Iran reflects a disturbing departure from our moral and diplomatic traditions. This represents not just a loss of voice but also a surrender of values,” the Congress leader said in her article in ‘The Hindu’.
