The CPI(M) has strongly criticized India’s official statement on the recent U.S. actions in Venezuela, calling it “unworthy” and insufficient. According to the party, India’s response failed to address or condemn what it described as a “gross violation” of the United Nations Charter and established international law.

The party highlighted that in situations involving violations of global norms, countries are expected to uphold the principles of sovereignty, non-interference, and respect for international law. By remaining silent on the U.S. actions, the CPI(M) argued, India missed an opportunity to assert its position on the world stage and reaffirm its commitment to international justice.

The statement from the CPI(M) suggests that diplomatic neutrality should not come at the cost of ignoring breaches of global norms. They emphasized that such silence could be interpreted as tacit approval or indifference, which could undermine India’s credibility in international forums.

The party urged the government to take a clear and principled stance in line with the United Nations Charter, calling on it to recognize and condemn violations that threaten global peace and order. The CPI(M)’s criticism underscores ongoing debates within India about the balance between diplomatic pragmatism and moral responsibility in foreign policy.
