Congress MP Sonia Gandhi has sharply criticized the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government for its stance and silence on the Gaza issue. In an opinion article published on June 27, 2026, she accused the government of abandoning India’s historic support for Palestine in favor of closer ties with Israel. Citing a UN commission report, she alleged that Israel committed genocide in Gaza following Hamas’s 2023 attack, causing massive civilian casualties, including over 20,000 children killed and 44,000 injured. Gandhi also condemned the international community’s inaction in stopping the conflict.
She argued that New Delhi’s silence on the suffering of Gaza’s civilians is morally indefensible and contrary to India’s national interests. According to her, moving away from India’s traditional pro-Palestine position could harm the country’s global image. She urged the government to take a clearer stand in support of Palestinian rights.
The BJP strongly rejected her comments, calling them misleading. Party spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said India has repeatedly clarified its position, provided humanitarian aid, and supported ceasefire resolutions at the UN, accusing Congress of mixing foreign policy with vote-bank politics.
