New Delhi [India], June 23 (ANI): Amidst the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, the Communist Party of India and other left parties on Monday condemned the US’ recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
CPI general secretary D Raja questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence over the issue. He said that he must call his “friend”, US President Donald Trump, to stop bombing Iran, citing that it is a violation of the UN charter.
“The Communist Party of India, all the Left parties and all the peace-loving forces in India condemn the US bombing of Iran. PM Modi has not uttered a word condemning the US bombing of Iran. He must call his friend Donald Trump and ask him to stop the bombing of Iran, as it is a violation of the UN charter. The PM should demonstrate the moral authority of India that the country opposes US-Israel continuing war on Iran. Why is PM Modi not condemning this?”, D Raja told ANI.
