SRINAGAR, Dec 22: Natio-nal Conference President and Member of Parliament, Dr Farooq Abdullah today welcomed United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution opposing the declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by the United States.
“This has upheld India’s considered, principled and independent stand on Palestine”, he said, adding “the move to declare Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by the United States was an arbitrary, unjust and baseless that defied history and tenets of justice”.
“No such steps should be allowed that would hamper peace and stability in the Middle East and deprive the people of Palestine of their rights”, he said, adding “India has traditionally and consistently considered East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine and India’s support to the UNGA resolution re-affirms that stand and commitment”.
