BJP Hits Back After Sonia Gandhi Slams India’s ‘Silence’ on Gaza
On Saturday, June 27, 2026, the BJP responded to Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s article, in which she criticised the Centre's "silence and inaction" regarding the Gaza conflict. The BJP accused her of attempting to "misinform and conceal the real truth" about India's stance on the issue.
The Core Arguments
Sonia Gandhi's Stance: In her article, the Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson criticised the Modi government’s "silence and inaction" regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling it "morally reprehensible" and harmful to India's national interest. She argued that India has moved too close to Israel, thereby distancing itself from traditional West Asian allies (like Palestine and Iran) and abandoning its historical position of post-colonial solidarity.
Shehzad Poonawalla (BJP leader) fired back. He said she is lying and just trying to win votes. He argued that the government is being fair because:
India has publicly talked about the issue at the United Nations.
India has sent aid (like food and medical supplies) to Gaza.
India has voted for a ceasefire (to stop the fighting).
In essence, the BJP party claims to be impartial and making an effort to assist, while the Congress party believes the government is taking a side.
