Kannur: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has accused the Union government of supporting Israel, instead of Palestine, just to appease American imperialism.

During the inauguration of CH Kanaram commemoration public meeting in Kannur on Sunday, Vijayan remarked that Israel and the ruling powers in India are twin siblings. “One’s name is Zionists and the other is Sangh Parivaar. There is no difference between these two,” he was quoted as saying by India Today.

The Chief Minister also criticised the central government for its stance of neutrality regarding the ongoing issue. He pointed out that most countries in the United Nations have called on Israel to stop the war, while only a few, including the United States, have opposed it. He questioned India's position, stating that we are choosing neutrality. “We are refraining from taking part in the voting. We are not with Palestine. We are not in the group that is asking to stop the attack on Palestine. The meaning of it is – We are standing on the other side,” he expressed.

Vijayan alleged that while many countries, including Italy, have decided to halt arms supplies to Israel, India has not done so, the report added. He emphasised that India engages in significant weapon business with Israel, adding that country has become “the land that makes weapons that Israel wants.”

Pinarayi Vijayan reiterated his stance that the situation in Palestine is not a war but a genocide. “It can be called war only when the other side also has enough weapons. It’s a one-sided attack. Israel has come out to destroy. They are using all weapons,” he stated.
