New Delhi, Oct 30 (Prensa Latina) Palestine solidarity organizations in India will hold a public event in Mumbai on November 1 to call for an end to Israel’s genocidal war in the Palestinian territories, it was announced today.
According to the call, activists and representatives of various opposition political parties will speak at the rally organized by the All India Peace and Solidarity Organization (Aipso) and the India Palestine Solidarity Forum.
Participants will also call for an end to the Israeli occupation and justice and peace for the Palestinians.
The day before, members of the Politburo and Central Committee of the Marxist Communist Party of India (CPI(M)) staged a sit-in in New Delhi to express their opposition to Israel’s genocidal aggression in the Gaza Strip.
Its Secretary-General, Sitaram Yechury, expressed the Group’s categorical support for the resolution recently adopted at the United Nations calling for an immediate cessation of Israeli hostilities in the occupied territories and urgent assistance to the Palestinians.
He assured that the imperialist conspiracy and fraud have been denying the Palestinians their land for many years and condemned the massacre that Israel is currently carrying out, especially in the Gaza Strip, where more than eight thousand people have died, most of them children, and tens of thousands of them been injured, he said.
Yechury described the Zionist government’s actions as inhumane barbarism that must be stopped immediately, and accused Tel Aviv’s allies and those who justify these acts of complicity in the genocide.
Other CPI(M) leaders, including Kerala state chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, warned of the consequences if the Israeli massacre is not stopped.
Vijayan also deplored his country’s abstention from the UN resolution, which not only calls for an immediate and permanent humanitarian ceasefire but also rejects the forced relocation of Palestinian civilians.
