Gehlot Questions India’s Silence on Iran-Israel Conflict, Recalls Non-Aligned Legacy

Senior Congress leader and former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Monday questioned the Central Government's silence on the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, while reminiscing about India's leadership in the Non-Aligned Movement under Indira Gandhi.

Gehlot highlighted the aggressive stance of the United States in the conflict, wondering why India has refrained from expressing its position. He praised Sonia Gandhi's recent article on the issue, which he believes reflects public interest and has garnered support from thoughtful citizens, despite causing unrest within the BJP.

Gehlot reflected on the visionary reforms by past Congress leaders, which included revolutionary programs against social injustices and advancements in technology and governance. He emphasized that Rahul Gandhi embodies this legacy with his push for a caste-based census to ensure inclusive welfare strategies.
