Several Left parties gathered at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar to protest the recent US attack on Venezuela and the detention of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. The CPI(M) criticized the US for what they termed as “imperialist military aggression” against Venezuela and called for global condemnation, urging the Indian government to take a strong stance against the incident. Protestors accused the US of targeting Venezuela to control its oil resources.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump announced a significant military operation in Caracas, claiming to have detained President Maduro and his wife. Maduro, facing criminal charges in the US for alleged involvement in a narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking scheme, arrived in New York City to address the accusations. The indictment, unveiled by US Attorney General Pam Bondi, accuses Maduro of using state power to transport large amounts of cocaine to the US over more than two decades.
The CPI(M), CPI, CPI(ML), RSP, and All India Forward Bloc have jointly condemned the US aggression and called on the Indian government to denounce the attack and express solidarity with Venezuela. General Secretaries of these parties released a statement criticizing the US for violating the UN Charter by attacking a sovereign nation. They highlighted Trump’s remarks about seizing Venezuela’s oil reserves and warned of potential future targets in Cuba and Mexico.
