Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Parliamentarians continued their protest in the Lok Sabha for the second consecutive day Tuesday seeking immediate end to innocent killings in Gaza. The party moved an adjournment motion in the House seeking a discussion on the Gaza crisis.
As the Lok Sabha convened this morning, PDP members Mehbooba Mufti and Tariq Hameed Karra got up from their seats urging the Speaker that the House should adopt a resolution condemning continued Israeli aggression in Gaza that has led to more than 170 innocent deaths.
Holding placards PDP MPs marched towards the well of the House and staged a sit-in there. They were later joined by the members of MIM, Congress, TMC, CPI (M), Samajwadi Party and others in their demand for seeing an end to Israeli aggression.
As the House showed its reluctance in adopting a resolution on the Palestinian issue, citing diplomatic intricacies, the PDP members walked out of the House.
The PDP MPs said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should raise the issue at BRICS summit to ensure that there is an immediate end to Isareli airstrikes in Gaza.
“We don’t expect our country’s leadership to watch this naked aggression by Israel against hapless Palestinians silently. We should rise to the occasion and speak for the suffering Gazan’s,” PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said and added that the Government of India should try to do all it could to prevent further loss of innocent lives in Gaza.
