The Congress on Thursday (April 23, 2026) accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of showing “moral cowardice” with his “total silence” on Israel’s “ongoing genocide” in Gaza and its heavy bombing of Lebanon, saying no government has shown as much solidarity with the “murderous Israeli regime” as his dispensation.
Congress general secretary in charge of communications Jairam Ramesh also claimed that the Modi government has betrayed all human values, except traditional Indian principles and positions.
“The prime minister has demonstrated moral cowardice with his complete silence on Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and its heavy bombing of Lebanon. He has also been completely silent on the dispossession and displacement of thousands of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank,” Ramesh said on X.
