Indian Foreign Minister Bashwant Sinha confirmed Indian support for Iraq's just and legal demands in lifting the 12-year embargo imposed by US pressure on UN.
During a meeting with Arab ambassadors to New Delhi, Mr. Sinha said that Iraq has the right to deter any US possible attack.
If the world did not refuse US behavior against anti-imperialist regimes and patriotic governments, such as Iraq, it would be a license for the US to have more attacks on other states” the Foreign Minister said.
“In the name of Indian government I call on all the world states, especially Arabs, to announce their solidarity with Iraq and to refuse any military action on it," he said.
On the other hand, Indian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Devi Jee Sing described any possible military attack on Iraq as, “a crime against innocent people and against a State's sovereignty.”
In his meeting with the Iraqi ambassador to India, Mr. Devi Jee Sing declared that India must strongly oppose any aggression on Iraq. He referred to the positive stand of Indian Parties towards Iraq's crises.
