Sonia Gandhi Article on Iran-Israel: Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi has written an article in an English newspaper about the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, in which she said that Iran has been an old friend of India and is bound by deep relations with us. Iran has a history of supporting India on important occasions including Jammu and Kashmir. In 1994, Iran helped prevent India’s proposal criticizing the United Nations Commission on human rights on the Kashmir issue. This article of Sonia Gandhi has been shared by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on social media platform x.

Sonia Gandhi wrote that India and Israel have also developed strategic relations in recent decades. This situation gives our country moral responsibility and diplomatic benefits to reduce stress and work as a bridge for peace. Millions of Indian citizens are living and working all over West Asia, which makes peace in this region a significant national interest.

Sonia Gandhi attacks the government over Palestine

Former Congress president Sonia attacked the policies of the Modi government, saying that in front of this human disaster, the Modi government has abandoned India’s long-term and theoretical commitment for a peaceful two-state solution, imagining a sovereign, independent Palestine, which can stay shoulder to shoulder with Israel with mutual safety and honor.

Still not too late: Sonia Gandhi

The Congress leader said that India’s silence on the catastrophe in Gaza and now against Iran’s increasing stress without provocation is going to distract from our moral and diplomatic traditions. It is still not too late. India should speak clearly, work responsibly and use every diplomatic channel available to reduce stress and promote the return of interactions in West Asia.
