Oppose US air strikes on Libya

US's military action is violation of  

      

Libya’s sovereignty 

The Congress Secular Hindu Forum (CSHF) strongly opposes the United State and its allies air strikes on Libya. We firmly believe that it is for the people of Libya to decide how to resolve their problems and what kind of a political system they need.

We are disturbed with the United Nation’s Security Council resolution empowering US and its allies to resort for military action against Libya. We urge the Indian government to intervene and make it clear that the US and its allies have “no right whatsoever” to violate the sovereignty of Libya in the name of humanitarian intervention.

This has exposed the evil-intentions of the US and its allies to get control over oil-rich region of the world just on the lines it had earlier declared war on Iraq. The western powers are interested mainly in the oil wealth of Libya and seek to utilize the revolt against the C ol. Gaddafi regime to pursue their own interests.

We demand that the Indian government should “unambiguously:” declare that no military intervention of any sort should be resorted to by the US or NATO. We are extremely worried as the US has positioned its warships off the coast of Libya.

We demand that the Indian government should seek a review of the United Nation’s Security Council resolution authorizing military action against Libya and the creation of `no-fly zone’ over the country. It also should call for a halt to the military action until the review is over.

We are happy to note that India is among five members of the Security Council, who had abstained from voting on the resolution.  We should realize that the military strikes by NATO forces comprising France, Britain and the United States are a dangerous act of aggression. The NATO is now repeating what it did in Iraq, which led to the death of millions of people and large-scale destruction.

We demand that the Indian government should declare the military action is a violation of Libya’s sovereignty and a calculated action in an internal conflict to bring about a regime change.  We should expose the hypocrisy of the Western powers, which was connivance with the Saudi military intervention to crush the popular and peaceful revolt in Bahrain, but they are now acting just in opposite way in Libya.
