Press Release

The Central Secretariat of the Communist Party of India has issued the following statement to the press:

The Communist Party of India strongly condemns Israel’s piratical attacks on the high seas on a flotilla of civilian aid ships for Gaza strip which is facing a blockade.  This deadly attack in the International Waters has left a score of people dead and many injured.

The belligerent act of Israel has once again proved that to what extent Israel could go defying the world public opinion and humanitarian values.  It is a fact that Israel is fully backed by US in its war against the Palestinian people.

While the whole world condemns the Israeli attack, the response of the Government of India is weak.  This is due to its multiple cooperation with Israel including military one.  The Party demands that India should take a firm stand and condemn Israel.

The Communist Party of India calls upon all peace loving and anti imperialist forces to condemn Israeli attack and express solidarity with the people of Palestine.
