New Delhi, In a significant display of solidarity, hundreds gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to voice their opposition to the ongoing conflict in Palestine and express support for the Palestinian people. The protest aimed to challenge the Indian government’s position on the conflict.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the demonstration was organized by a coalition of civil rights groups, student organizations, and political parties. The protestors condemned what they described as a “genocidal war” and called for an end to what they perceive as Israeli aggression. Key speakers, including CPI-M general secretary Sitaram Yechury and Delhi Deputy Mayor Aaley Mohammad Iqbal, criticized the Indian government’s support for Israel and urged international intervention to halt the hostilities.
The gathering featured chants, placards, and Palestinian flags, highlighting widespread support for Palestinian rights and opposition to the Israeli occupation. This protest in New Delhi is part of a broader global movement, with similar demonstrations occurring across the United States, Europe, and other regions. Organizers have pledged to continue their advocacy efforts until what they call the “war” with Hamas is ceased, referring to the situation as a genocide against the Palestinian people.
