Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Condemn BJP Government's Disgraceful Position on Venezuela

 

The Modi led BJP government's response to the blatant aggression against
Venezuela and the abduction of its President and wife by the United States
armed forces, is craven and unworthy of India's long held position of
defence of independence and sovereignty of nations. 

 

The statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs only expresses
'deep concern at the developments in Venezuela' and calls for 'dialogue to
ensure peace and stability in the region'. There is not a word of
condemnation about the gross violation of the United Nations Charter and
international law - something which even some European allies of the US have
mentioned. 

 

India's stand is in sharp contrast to that taken by its BRICS partners like
Brazil and South Africa who have unequivocally and strongly condemned the US
aggression and demanded the release of President Maduro and his wife. This
pro US stand is in line with the Modi government's right wing ideology and
strategic ties with the Trump administration. By this stand India has
abdicated any claim to represent the interests of the Global South. 

 

The CPI(M) demands that the Modi government abandon this disgraceful
position and come out categorically against the US aggression and illegal
acts in Venezuela.
