Raising slogans and carrying placards to denounce the action of the Donald Trump-led administration, activists assembled at a park here and held a peaceful protest against the US operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.
“The US action violated international laws and the UN Charter. The Trump administration has openly demonstrated aggression against a sovereign Latin American country and used force against unarmed people which is an act of barbarism,” Tarigami told media-persons.
He stressed that such actions undermine the authority of the UN Security Council and the international legal framework established to prevent aggression against sovereign nations.
Tarigami criticised a reported comment by Trump where he claimed India “wanted to make him happy” by reducing purchase of crude oil from Russia.
“This is insane and humiliating. India is a sovereign nation and decides its policies independently,” Tarigami said, asserting that India has always maintained strategic autonomy.
Questioning the Centre’s statement on the US aggression in Venezuela, he said the Indian Government should have unequivocally condemned the act. “The world leaders are looking at our country, and we appeal to the Government to review its statement and speak with clarity, confidence and courage.”
