Srinagar, Oct 30 (KNS): Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Communist Party of India on Monday said that it is shocking that India abstained on a resolution overwhelmingly adopted by the UN General Assembly calling for a humanitarian truce in the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza.
In a statement, a spokesperson said that India's abstention on a resolution that was overwhelmingly adopted shows the extent to which Indian foreign policy is being shaped by being a subordinate ally of US imperialism and the Modi government's actions for consolidating the US-Israel-India nexus.
"This negates India's longstanding support to the Palestinian cause.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelAs the United Nations General Assembly adopted this resolution, Israel has stepped up its genocidal air and ground attacks in the Gaza strip. It has also cut off all communications in Gaza which is home to 2.2 million Palestinians," reads the statement.
It reads that respecting the overwhelming mandate of the UN General Assembly there must be an immediate ceasefire.
"The United Nations must reenergize itself to implement the mandate of the Security Council for a 2-State solution with pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the capital of State of Palestine." (KNS)
