Launching a blistering attack on the Congress, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Sunday wrote a five-point “fact file” of sorts to counter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on her statement on Gaza.

Sharing Priyanka Gandhi’s social media post on X, where she criticised India’s abstention from the UN motion on Gaza, Dubey took a swipe at her knowledge of history on the subject matter.

“This is what happens when you haven’t studied history,” Dubey wrote in a post on X.

On Saturday, Priyanka termed as “shameful” and “disappointing” the central government’s decision to abstain from the UN motion to protect civilians and uphold humanitarian obligations in Gaza.

Dubey, however, countered her arguments by claiming that India gave recognition to Israel under previous Congress regimes.

जब इतिहास नहीं पढ़ा हो तो ऐसा ही होता है @priyankagandhi जी,1. आपको पता है कि इजराइली मिशन का अमेरिका के बाद पहला ऑफ़िस मुम्बई में 1950 में नेहरु जी ने खुलवाया यानि इज़रायल को हमने अघोषित मान्यता दी?2. आपको पता है कि 1971 पाकिस्तान के साथ युद्ध में इंदिरा जी ने इज़रायली हथियार… https://t.co/2VpQR3dMiG— Dr Nishikant Dubey (@nishikant_dubey) June 15, 2025

In her post on X, Priyanka contended that the Centre was refusing to take a stand when 60,000 people, mostly women and children, had been killed and the entire population of Gaza were being “confined and starved to death”.

She alleged that not only was India being silent on the Gaza issue, it was “cheering on” the Israeli government as it attacked Iran and assassinated its leadership.

“It is shameful and disappointing that our government has chosen to abstain on the UN motion for the protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations in Gaza… This is a tragic reversal of our anti-colonial legacy. In fact, not only are we standing silent as Mr Netanyahu annihilates an entire nation, we are cheering on as his government attacks Iran and assassinates its leadership in flagrant violation of its sovereignty and complete contravention of all international norms,” she wrote.

Dubey, however, pointed out that it was under Jawaharlal Nehru’s leadership that India gave “undeclared recognition” to Israel by opening the country’s first mission office in Mumbai in 1950. He alleged that former prime minister Indira Gandhi had used Israeli weapons and took Mossad – Israel’s spy agency – in the 1971 war against Pakistan. He added that it was the Congress government that opened the first declared Israeli embassy in Delhi in 1992, while the Palestine embassy “finally opened” in 1996.

On the matter of UN resolutions, too, he asked: “Do you know that from 1948 to 2014, India either voted in favor of Israel or abstained 56 times in the Security Council.”

The Wayanad MP further questioned how India can “abandon” the principles of the Constitution, and the values of the freedom struggle “that led the way for an international arena based on peace and humanity”.

“There is no justification for this. True global leadership demands the courage to defend justice, India has shown this courage unfailingly in the past. In a world that is increasingly divisive, we must reclaim our voice for humanity and stand fearlessly for truth and non-violence,” she added.

INDIA-PALESTINE RELATIONS

India was one of the first countries to recognise the Palestine State in 1988, and its support for the Palestinian cause has been an integral part of foreign policy. In fact, in 1974, it was also the first non‐Arab state to recognise the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) as the “sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people”.

According to the website of the Representative office of India in Ramallah, Palestine, India has “consistently supported, co-sponsored, and voted in favour of UN General Assembly Resolutions securing the right to self-determination of Palestinians (2020), urging Israel’s compliance with legal obligations viz. ICJ’s Construction of the Wall Opinion (2004), and its status as a non-member State at the UN (2012)”.

“In 2011, India also voted in favour of Palestine becoming a full member of UNESCO. The NAM Ministerial Committee on Palestine was established under India’s Presidency during the VII NAM Summit in New Delhi in 1983. As a member of the Security Council, India continued to voice its support for a negotiated solution resulting in a sovereign, independent, viable and united State of Palestine, within secure and recognized borders, at peace beside Israel as endorsed in the relevant UNSC and UNGA Resolutions,” the website stated.

This time, however, India has taken a much stronger pro-Israel stand than is typical during Israel-Palestine conflicts. While India may have recognised the creation of Israel in 1950, its tryst with Palestine dates back to 1947 when it voted against its partition of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
