New Delhi [India], March 1: Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday asked the BJP-led Central Government to clarify its stance on the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, asking whether the government stands for war or peace.
Akhilesh Yadav underlined the deadly circumstances and said that India should inform about its diplomatic efforts to establish peace as a neutral country.
In a post on X, Yadav wrote, “In these circumstances of deadly attacks and war targeting everyone from the most prominent figures to ordinary citizens of any country, our country’s government should clarify its stance on this international issue and state whether it stands with war or with peace, and, as a neutral country, what diplomatic efforts it is making to stop the war and restore peace.”
Further highlighting the dangers of the spread of misinformation in times of war, the SP chief said that the government should verify the news related to the number of deceased in the war.
“Our country’s government should, at every possible level, verify the news related to those killed in the war and place the truth before the public. Wartime news is often part of a strategy, which is why its verification is necessary. The killing of humanity along with human beings is extremely regrettable. Every country should behave responsibly,” the SP chief wrote.
Earlier on February 28, Iranian media had reported that at least 40 Iranians had been killed in an Israeli strike on a school in the city of Minab in the Hormozgan province, in the southern part of Iran, quoting the governor of the province.
