The BJP on Monday accused the Congress of supporting terror organisations after the Congress Working Committee affirmed its support for the rights of the Palestinian people to land, self-government and to live with dignity. In a post on X, Union minister Pralhad Joshi asked how will Congress protect the nation and its citizens when it is “openly standing with violence”.

“Congress at it again! Supporting terror organisations and terrorism while innocent civilians lose their lives to bullets,” he said.

“With this stand, the leading party of I.N.D.I Alliance has exposed itself to the nation. How will the party protect its nation and citizens when it is openly standing with violence,” Mr Joshi added.

Amid the the Congress Working Committee Monday reiterated its long-standing support for the rights of the Palestinian people to land, self-government and to live with dignity while also calling for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations on all outstanding issues.

In a resolution passed at its four-hour meeting, the Congress’ top decision-making body said the CWC expresses its dismay and anguish on the war that has broken out in the Middle East where over a thousand people have been killed in the last two days.
