The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:
The
United States and its allies are planning a military intervention in
Syria against the Syrian government. For a long time, the US and NATO
have been trying for a military intervention like in Libya to topple the
Bashar al-Assad government. But they were thwarted because the UN
Security Council did not approve such an action.
The
current pretext for the military attack is the alleged use of chemical
weapons by the Syrian government forces near Damascus. There has to be
an independent investigation to substantiate this claim and if so who
has used the neurotoxic agent. The US and the Western powers have no
credibility in making this charge as they used a similar pretext of
“weapons of mass destruction” to attack Iraq.
The
Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) strongly opposes the reported moves to launch
a military attack on Syria which is to be discussed at a meeting of
military chiefs of the US and its allies at Amman in Jordan. The
Government of India should come out against any military intervention
and advocate a political solution for the conflict in Syria.
