The Congress on Sunday condemned the Israeli attack against Iran, saying it represents “a dangerous growth with serious regional and global consequences”.
Party’s statement came a day later India removed itself from a statement issued by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) condemning military attacks by Israel.
Congress Communication in-charge Jeram Ramesh said on Sunday that the Congress “unevenly condemned the recent bombing of Israel and the target killings on Iranian land”. Ramesh said, “This attack on Iran’s sovereignty and encroachment of its rights, whether it is through air strikes or secret killings, only deepen instability and sows the seeds of further conflict,” Ramesh said.
Ramesh said, “With millions of Indian citizens living and working in West Asia, peace is an important national interest in the region, which is an important national interest besides being a geopolitical concern. India should speak clearly, act responsibly and use every diplomatic channel available to reduce stress and promote return to communication.”
Congress Media and Publicity Department President Pawan Khera said that Indian students in Iran are “calling for help”. “But the government is largely unique, even the sky rains missiles.”
“With flights, the airspace over Tehran was closed, and internet usage disrupted, more than 1,500 Indian students are left in a state of uncertainty and uncertainty – there is no information about withdrawal or safe areas,” Khera said.
“The Indian Embassy has issued a general advice to be vigilant from students, avoid all unnecessary movements and to inspect the security protocol as per advice by local authorities,” Khera said, “Mea should go beyond” passive advice and install a coordinated clearance mechanism “.

He said that it has “left for the first time to argue Indian citizens for help during foreign crises”. “Whether it was Sudan, Ukraine or now Iran, Modi’s government has changed the evacuation in campaigning opportunities – to take late steps, speak too much, and to reduce much, to do very slowly.”
Ramesh said that the Congress “strongly believes that diplomacy, dialogue and international cooperation and violence are not a legitimate and durable path”.
