CPI Condemns India's abstention in UN Vote on Palestine

The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India issued today (June 14, 2025) the following statement:

The Communist Party of India strongly condemns the abstention of the Government of India in the United Nations General Assembly vote held yesterday on the resolution concerning the ongoing genocide in Gaza. This abstention is not merely a diplomatic maneuver — it is a grave moral failure and reflects the deep ideological affinity between Zionism and the Hindutva ideology pursued by the RSS-BJP and betrayal of the long-standing values of justice, non-alignment, and solidarity with oppressed peoples that have historically guided India's foreign policy.

At a time when the world is witnessing the relentless massacre of Palestinian civilians, including women and children, India’s failure to support a resolution calling for an end to Israeli aggression amounts to complicity in war crimes. This abstention in the face of atrocities is unacceptable and goes against the very principles of humanity and international law. The CPI reiterates its solidarity with the people of Palestine and demands that the Indian government immediately reverse its pro-Israel stance and stand firmly with the global call for justice and peace in Gaza.
