On Sunday, the Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other leaders of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) held a protest in front of AKG Bhawan office in Delhi to express solidarity with Palestine since India abstained from voting on the United Nations’ resolution.
The Polit Bureau and Central Committee (CC) members of the CPI(M) party protested in the national capital “calling for an end to genocidal aggression in Gaza by Israeli forces working with support from imperialist USA.” The party has officially supported the UN Resolution on Isreal-Palestine.

“CPI(M) Central Committee protest dharna demanding an end to Israeli genocidal agression against Palestinians. Israel must implement UN General Assembly resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire and humanitarian aid,” said CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter).
“Recollecting Rabindranath Tagore: “Give me a voice of thunder, That I may hurl imprecations upon this cannibal, Whose gruesome hunger, Spares neither woman nor child,” Yechury wrote in a another post on X.

The protest was also joined by the Chief Minister of Kerala, Pinarayi Vijayan, who addressed the protestors and said: “We are here to protest against the inhuman genocide that is going on against the Palestinian people and the support being extended to Israel by the government of India in blatant violation of time tested policy of solidarity with the Palestinian people who fight for their own land. It is really shocking that the government has gone to the extent of abstaining from discussion of the UN resolution, supporting Israel and the US,” as quoted by news agency ANI.
