Faction of Indian communist party joins BDS movement
The peasants and farmers wing of the Communist Party of India has joined the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement against Israel.
In a statement, All India Kisan Sabha says its 16 million member organization endorses BDS efforts in order to support the “rights of the Palestinian people and to resist the corporate takeover of Indian agriculture sector by Israeli companies.”
AIKS also says it will work to “raise awareness among Indian farmers to prevent Israel and its corporations from reaping profits in India that finance military occupation and apartheid in Palestine.”
