New Delhi : Deputy Speaker of Delhi Assembly Amreesh Singh Gautam reiterated India’s “unstinted and unwavering” support for the just Palestinian cause.

Speaking on the first anniversary of Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, Deputy Speaker of Delhi Assembly regretted the loss of innocent lives in Gaza and expressed India’s strong condemnation of the ongoing hostilities in Gaza.

In an interview with IRNA, he expressed dismay at the brutal killing of hundreds of innocent Palestinians by Israeli forces. “I reiterate our unstinted and unwavering support to the just Palestinian cause. This is an area of special priority for India and over the next decade and more this focus would only intensify further,” Indian leader said.

The Indian people have always stood by the Palestinians in their genuine struggle for a homeland since the days of our independence struggle, he added.

The Israeli attack on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip last year claimed lives of more than 1,000 innocent Palestinians, including 322 children and 76 women. More than 4560 Palestinians including 1,600 children and 678 women have reportedly been wounded in those inhuman attacks.
