On Tuesday (tenth October), the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) introduced its assist for Palestine whereas asserting that Israel’s ‘occupation’ of the state of Palestine is the primary explanation for the surging tensions in West Asia.

In its decision, IUML acknowledged, “It is a sizzling actuality that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is the basis explanation for the whole West Asian tensions.

Moreover, the League claimed that Israel’s ‘encroachment’ of Khuds Mosque is “extremely unjustified”.

When Rahul Gandhi referred to as IUML ‘secular’

It is value noting that the IUML which is an offshoot of the Muslim League that performed a major function within the partition of India is an ally of the Congress get together. While the IUML has hyperlinks with Jammat-e-Islami and the Social Democratic Party of India (SDPI), each accused by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) of spreading radicalism in Kerala, Rahul Gandhi had referred to as the IUML a ‘secular’ get together.

During his controversial US go to in June this yr, Rahul Gandhi asserted that the Muslim League, a Muslim political get together in India which performed a significant function within the partition of India on non secular traces, was “completely secular”. The interviewer requested him, “You talked about secularism and democracy while opposing the Hindu party BJP, however, the Congress in Kerala has been in alliance with the Muslim party, the Muslim League in Kerala, the state from which you were an MP”. To this, Rahul Gandhi mentioned, “Muslim League is a completely secular party, there is nothing non-secular about the Muslim League. I think the person has not studied the Muslim League”.

“The Indian National Congress has always believed that the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people for a life of self-respect, equality, and dignity must be fulfilled only through a process of dialogue and negotiations while ensuring the legitimate national security interests of the Israeli people. Violence of any type never provides a solution and must stop,” the Congress get together mentioned.

Interestingly, the Congress get together’s decision didn’t even point out the phrases Hamas or Israel. Meanwhile, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor in a dialog with IndiaToday mentioned that “Hamas cannot be called a terrorist organisation”. He asserted that whereas the US has labelled Hamas as a terrorist organisation, the federal government of India has not made any such classification. Tharoor’s assertion comes even when Prime Minister Modi has explicitly termed the assaults on Israel as “terrorist attacks”.
