Congress on Sunday remained silent on the
US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites
, a sharp contrast to the fierce criticism of AICC and the party brass, including its president Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, against Israel's attacks on Iran. The main opposition party had also been criticising the Modi government for not condemning the Israeli attacks on Iran.
However, the five Left parties on Sunday condemned the US action in Iran. While the US bombing of Iran happened early on Sunday (India time), but till evening neither AICC nor the Gandhis had issued any statement of condemnation of the Trump administration's military action. AICC held no official press briefing on Sunday.
In a joint statement, the five Left parties said: "It is ironic that US, the only country to have ever used a nuclear weapon...is now speaking about the threat of nuclear weapons! The US attack will, in all likelihood, drastically escalate the conflict, with disastrous implications for global peace and the livelihoods of ordinary people - especially in countries like India... The Indian government must immediately abandon its pro-US, pro-Israel foreign policy stance..."
