No difference within party over CWC resolution on Hamas: Congress
Congress on Tuesday said there are no differences in the party on the CWC resolution on Hamas and reminded the BJP of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee favouring the cause of Palestinian people, after the ruling party slammed it for not referring to the terror attack on Israel in its resolution. The Congress came under attack from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for allegedly supporting Hamas and the Palestine cause, without referring to the attack on Israel.
Congress's deputy leader in the Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi said there are no differences within the party over the CWC document, which has favoured a resolution of the Palestine issue through dialogue.
The BJP is trying to divert people's attention and distract them from the rift in the party over poll ticket distribution.
«It is unfortunate that the BJP is politicising the Congress Working Committee (CWC) resolution. All of us want Indians to be safe in Israel and Gaza and that they should return home safely,» Gogoi told reporters when asked about the issue.
«There is no resentment and these are all rumours. It is regrettable that people are doing politics over the Congress resolution… Whether in Israel or in Gaza, we want Indian citizens to be safe. They should come back, that should be the focus,» he said.
Gogoi said senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh explained the party's position on X just a day earlier and referred to both the Hamas attacks and the Palestine cause.
Gogoi alleged that the BJP is facing an internal revolt after the declaration of poll candidates' names in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, and is now trying to distract people from this internal rift and raising such issues.
