New Delhi: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi on Tuesday slammed the BJP-led Indian government for its “silence and inaction” regarding Israel’s actions in Palestine, which she described as genocide. Gandhi’s recent remark came as two years of war in Gaza have pushed its people to the brink of oblivion, and Israel continues to worsen the situation amid widespread criticism.
In a post on X, Congress MP wrote: “The Israeli state is committing genocide. It has murdered over 60,000 people, 18,430 of whom were children. It has starved hundreds to death including many children and is threatening to starve millions. Enabling these crimes by silence and inaction is a crime in itself.”
