AIMIM chief alleges Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, says supporting it is against India’s national interest
AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi condemned India’s bilateral investment treaty with Israel, calling it “despicable” as Israel allegedly oversees genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
Hyderabad: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Tuesday found fault with the Centre for signing a bilateral investment agreement with Israel, alleging that Israel is currently "overseeing genocide and ethnic cleansing" in Gaza. In a post on 'X', he claimed that supporting a "genocidal government" is not in national interest.
"It is despicable that the Modi govt has signed a Bilateral Investment Treaty with Israel at a time when Israel is overseeing genocide, ethnic cleansing & famine of Gaza," he said.
Owaisi also posted a media report with a photo of the agreement being signed by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and an Israeli minister.
"The person seated next to @nsitharaman believes that it is just and moral to starve Gazans. Arrest warrant applications against him are pending with the ICC. Supporting a genocidal government cannot be in national interest," he said. However, Owaisi did not name the Israeli minister.
India and Israel on Monday inked a bilateral investment agreement with an aim to promote and protect investments in each other's countries, the finance ministry said.
