On 21 March, a Palestine solidarity protest was organised at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, demanding an immediate end to Israel's genocidal war in Gaza. The protest saw participation from CPI(ML), CPI(M), other left parties, student organisations, and progressive groups, all expressing their steadfast solidarity with the people of Gaza and the Palestinian struggle for liberation.

The scale of destruction in Gaza is staggering. In the first wave of Israel’s genocidal war, over 50,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, were slaughtered. Thousands remain buried under the rubble. 90% of Gaza’s total population has been forcibly displaced from their homes. Entire neighbourhoods have been reduced to dust, hospitals and schools have been systematically targeted, and Israel has deliberately blocked food, water, and medical aid, pushing Gaza into an unparalleled humanitarian catastrophe.

The protest came in response to Israel’s renewed bombardment of Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocent Palestinians, including children and women.

CPI(ML) General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, addressing the gathering, condemned Israel’s unilateral violation of the ceasefire and held the United States responsible for enabling the ongoing massacre.

"This genocide is happening with the full backing of the US and the Trump administration. Meanwhile, the Modi government remains complicit through its silence. We demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and accountability for Israel’s war crimes. We also strongly condemn the persecution of pro-Palestine voices in the US and elsewhere," he stated.

He further criticised the Modi government’s foreign policy, pointing out that Indian citizens in the US—including students and professionals—are facing deportation, yet the Indian government has chosen to remain silent. He called upon the government to publicly condemn Israel’s war crimes and the crackdown on pro-Palestine activism worldwide.

AIPWA Delhi President Shweta Raj urged India to immediately sever all military and economic ties with Israel, denouncing the Modi regime’s growing alliance with the Zionist apartheid state.

AISA Delhi President Abhigyan highlighted the long history of Israel’s occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians. He emphasised that Israel’s latest escalation is not an isolated event but part of its ongoing project to erase Palestine. "The people of India will always stand with the people of Palestine. We demand that our government stop being a pawn of US imperialism and take a strong stand against Israel’s war machine," he declared.

At the protest, CPI(ML) also strongly condemned the Israeli forces and settlers' escalating campaign of terror in the occupied West Bank. Settler militias, backed by the Israeli military, have been rampaging through Palestinian villages, torching homes, destroying farms, and killing civilians with impunity. Mass arrests, extrajudicial killings, and military raids have intensified, further entrenching Israel's apartheid rule.

The protest concluded with a vow to continue mobilising in solidarity with Palestine and resist India’s growing alignment with the US-Israel axis.
