The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India issued today (October 8, 2023) the following statement:

The Communist Party of India expresses its serious concern on the escalations of the Palestine-Israel conflict blowing into a bloody war resulting in the death of more than three hundred people on both sides already.

The CPI urges both the sides to exercise restraint to avoid further loss of precious lives.

CPI calls upon the international community, United Nations & Government of India to make efforts for the establishment of permanent peace by supporting the two-states solution with pre-1967 borders & East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

India should unequivocally uphold the two-states solution as agreed in the United Nations.
