Chennai, 14 June (H.S.): The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) party has demanded that the Modi government condemn Israel's military attack on Iran, which it believes is a threat to world peace. In a statement, VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan expressed concern over the attack, which targeted major Iranian cities and nuclear research centers, resulting in the deaths of important Iranian nuclear scientists and military commanders.
The VCK party questioned Israel's actions, given its possession of nuclear weapons, and asked why it is preventing Iran from gaining similar strength. Thirumavalavan urged the Indian government to break its silence on the issue and condemn the attack, criticizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government for its seemingly pro-Israel stance.
The party's demand comes amid reports that many countries, including Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia, have condemned the attack, while India has maintained a cautious approach. The VCK believes that India's silence on the issue may be due to its improving ties with Israel, but warns that this stance could isolate India on the world stage.
The situation in the Middle East is tense, with concerns about the potential for a larger conflict. India has previously expressed serious concerns over escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran, calling for immediate de-escalation and restraint. The VCK's demand reflects growing concerns within India about the government's foreign policy stance and its implications for the country's relationships with other nations.
The VCK's demand highlights the complexities of India's foreign policy, particularly its balancing act between its historical ties with Palestine and its growing relationship with Israel. As the situation in the Middle East continues to unfold, India's response will be closely watched by various stakeholders, both domestically and internationally.
