Kharge Slams Modi Govt over Abstention on UN Resolution Calling for Gaza Ceasefire, Urges PM to Take a Call on 'Repeated Blunders' - The Statesman
- On June 12, 2025, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with 149 votes for, 12 against, and 19 abstentions including India.
- India abstained due to a policy favoring dialogue and diplomacy, continuing its pattern of avoiding votes critical of Israel's Gaza bombardment since October 2023.
- Congress leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Pawan Khera, sharply criticised the Modi government for moral cowardice and betraying India's historical support for Palestine.
- Kharge stated India stood isolated as the sole abstainer in South Asia, BRICS, and SCO, while Congress demanded Prime Minister Modi ensure accountability for foreign policy errors.
- The abstention risks damaging India’s global standing amid escalating violence and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reinforcing calls for a ceasefire and renewed dialogue by multiple actors.
