JAMMU: Prof. Bhim Singh, Chief Patron of National Panthers Party on Wednesday send a communiqué to Prime Minister, Narendra Modi expressing disappointment for praising Israel’s surgical strikes against the Palestinians.
The letter reads, “India has earned international reputation as a Non-Aligned nation. India played a leading role in all international situations to ensure that international peace is maintained throughout the world. India’s role in Africa, South-East Asia, Arab World and in other conflict torn areas has been appreciated as beacon light throughout the world. PM’s reaction equating Indian Army’s surgical strikes on 29th September, 2016 across the LoC with Israel’s exploits is horrible. I request the Prime Minister to come out with a bold stand that India has been supporting the United Nations for the establishment of Sovereign State of Palestine since thirties. The Indian leadership since Gandhi’s era has stood for the establishment of State of Palestine as per command of Resolution 81 of the United Nations. The Israeli Government vastly known as ‘Zionist State’ has not accepted the UN Resolution till date and it has been bulldozing Palestine through so-called surgical strikes. India has always supported the Palestinians and their leadership namely, Yasir Arafat in their movement to seek recognition of State of Palestine”. He urged Modi to rethink about the statement he has made vis-à-vis Israel’s surgical strikes against Palestine.
