A resolution was adopted at the mass Jan Aakrosh Rally, organised by the Communist Party of India (Marxist) March 24, at the Ramlila Maidan, Delhi.

Resolution on War

US-Israel attack on Iran is having a big impact on our lives. Due to the failure of the BJP-led government to assess the situation and take necessary steps, there is scarcity of gas cylinders even in small villages. On top of it, the government has increased the price of gas and petrol. The resulting increase in the price of vegetables, rice and other essential commodities have added to our burdens.

US-Israel attack on Iran killed thousands of people including the leaders of the government. The most inhuman nature of their aggression is seen in the attack on a school which led to the death of more than 160 girl students and their teachers.

Before attacking Iran, Israel and US carried out genocidal attack on Gaza.

US attacked and kidnapped the President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro and the First Lady. It had bombed an Iranian ship which participated in an event organised by the Indian Navy. The US has intensified the economic blockade on Cuba and is now threatening that it will dismantle the socialist system in Cuba.

Instead of condemning these attacks, the BJP government stood with US and Israel. Under the BJP, India has become a subordinate ally of the US.

We demand the BJP-led Union government to condemn the US-Israel attack on Iran and Palestine. It should take steps to protect the lives of Indians who are living in the Gulf and West Asia. The war should end immediately.

All of us who have gathered here in the Jan Aakrosh Rally demand the government to curb price rise, reduce the price of gas and ensure that cylinders are available to all those who are in need.
