India votes in favour of the UN resolution condemning Israel.

BSNLEU organised demonstrations on 18.10.2023, demanding the Israeli armed forces to stop their attacks and killing of the innocent civilians of Palestine. This programme was organised as per the call of the World Federation of Trade Union (WFTU). However, BSNLEU was criticised, saying that the Union is supporting Hamas. This criticism is completely baseless. Now, the Indian Government has voted in the United Nations (UN), condemning Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands. The resolution has condemned Israel’s forcible occupations of Palestinian lands. 145 countries, including India, have voted in favour of the resolution, condemning Israel. 7 countries, including Israel, US and Canada voted against the resolution. 18 countries remained absent. At least now, those who criticised BSNLEU should realise their mistake.
