Israel-Hamas conflict: NCP chief Sharad Pawar invites wrath over comments on India's Israel stance
New Delhi, October 19: Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar is currently embroiled in a political controversy due to his criticism of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's support for Israel in their conflict with the Hamas. In response to Pawar's remarks, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma made a provocative comment, suggesting that it appears as if Sharad Pawar might send his daughter Supriya Sule to Gaza to support Hamas.
The political dispute surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict intensified as leaders from different political parties expressed varying perspectives. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed solidarity with Israel in the face of rocket attacks by Hamas, stating that India's thoughts and prayers are with the innocent victims and their families.
In a recent gathering of party workers in Mumbai, Sharad Pawar noted the contrast between Prime Minister Modi's support for Israel and the historical stance of former Indian Prime Ministers in support of Palestine. This has sparked a heated debate on India's position regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict.
