Breaking News: Sonia Gandhi Urges India to Speak Up on Iran-Israel Conflict, Calls Silence

Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Saturday criticised India's silence on the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, saying that the Centre's silence is "not just a loss of its voice, but also a surrender of values". In an article titled 'It is still not too late for India's voice to be heard,' Gandhi also criticised US President Donald Trump for following a "destructive path" in West Asia.

"New Delhi's silence on the devastation in Gaza and now on the unprovoked escalation against Iran reflects a disturbing departure from our moral and diplomatic traditions. This represents not just a loss of voice but also a surrender of values," the senior Congress leader said in her article in 'The Hindu'.

"It is still not too late. India must speak clearly, act responsibly, and use every diplomatic channel available to defuse tensions and promote a return to dialogue in West Asia," she asserted.
