ISLAMABAD, Feb 26 (APP): Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhary Thursday, said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks that the killing of civilians can never be justified before the Knesset ring hollow when viewed against the backdrop of unwavering political alignment with actions that have led to immense civilian suffering in Gaza.
In a post on his X account, he referred to Prime Minister Modi’s remarks before the Knesset, where he emphasized that the killing of civilians can never be justified. “These remarks ring hollow when viewed against the backdrop of unwavering political alignment with actions that have led to immense civilian suffering in Gaza,” he wrote.
He said, that across Gaza, entire neighborhoods lie in ruins, food insecurity has reached catastrophic levels, medical facilities are barely functioning, and repeated escalations have shattered hopes for lasting peace.
The minister added that the principles of human rights and civilian protection cannot be reduced to selective slogans and must apply equally, regardless of politics or partnerships.
He further stressed that global leadership demands moral consistency, warning that when economic or strategic interests overshadow humanitarian concerns, credibility is inevitably called into question.
“True commitment to peace requires speaking out against injustice wherever it occurs, not only when it is convenient,” he said.
Calling for global reflection, the minister said diplomatic and trade relationships should never come at the expense of fundamental human values.
“The world must decide whether it will prioritize short-term gains or stand firmly on the side of universal justice and human dignity,” he added.
