A former Congress MLA Firose Sait has thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for supporting the UN resolution on “statehood” for Palestine.Speaking at Id Milad celebrations in Belagavi, Mr. Sait thanked the Union government and Mr. Modi for supporting the UN resolution.“The Central government has backed the two-State solution. This was a promise made by India to the people of Palestine several decades ago. This has been our studied stand. We need to be grateful to Mr. Modi for this. It is our duty to thank him and support him,” Mr Sait said.“Just as several Indians gave up their life for the Independence of our country, several thousands of Palestinians, including small children, have made the ultimate sacrifice for their freedom. We need to support them. I also want to tell the police that it is not a crime to support Palestine or the children of Gaza or other areas that are ravaged by war,” Mr. Sait claimed.Published - September 14, 2025 06:53 pm IST
