Sonia Gandhi's Gaza Op-Ed Draws BJP Criticism: "Lone Voice Of Silence"

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has questioned the government's "silence" on Gaza. In an Op-Ed piece, she has claimed that India is prioritising closer ties with Israel over its historical position on Palestinian rights, linking the country's Gaza policy to the broader foreign policy concerns. The BJP accused the Rajya Sabha MP of trying to misinform the people and putting vote bank ahead of foreign policy. Gaza had been reduced to rubble over years of Israeli ground operations since a deadly 2023 attack by Hamas that left over a thousand dead in Israeli border towns.
