CPI(M) Polit Bureau has issued the following statements

Condemn BJP Government’s Disgraceful Position on Venezuela

The Modi led BJP government’s response to the blatant aggression against Venezuela and the abduction of its President and wife by the United States armed forces, is craven and unworthy of India’s long held position of defence of independence and sovereignty of nations.

The statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs only expresses ‘deep concern at the developments in Venezuela’ and calls for ‘dialogue to ensure peace and stability in the region’. There is not a word of condemnation about the gross violation of the United Nations Charter and international law – something which even some European allies of the US have mentioned.

India’s stand is in sharp contrast to that taken by its BRICS partners like Brazil and South Africa who have unequivocally and strongly condemned the US aggression and demanded the release of President Maduro and his wife. This pro US stand is in line with the Modi government’s right wing ideology and strategic ties with the Trump administration. By this stand India has abdicated any claim to represent the interests of the Global South.

The CPI(M) demands that the Modi government abandon this disgraceful position and come out categorically against the US aggression and illegal acts in Venezuela.

Protest against Attacks on Venezuela Show Proof of Life of Maduro and his Wife

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) calls upon the people of India to join in protests against the US aggression on Venezuela and demanding it to immediately reveal the whereabouts of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores.

The Government of India should raise its voice demanding the US to show proof of life and stand by the UN charter.

Stop US Aggression on Venezuela

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the blatant act of U.S. aggression on Venezuela by bombing various sites in the country.

For the last few weeks the U.S. has mobilised its military and naval forces around Venezuela in order to enforce regime change. This is the real face of the U.S. National Security Strategy 2025, announced in the first week of December 2025. The concentration of U.S. forces in the Western Hemisphere and open declaration of its intent to bring the entire region under its control represent the Trump corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.

The CPI(M) demands an immediate end to U.S. aggression and withdrawal of all its troops from the Caribbean Sea. Latin America should be declared a zone of peace and the U.S. should not be allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign countries.

The UN Security Council should pass a Resolution condemning the U.S. aggression. International pressure must be mounted on the U.S. to immediately stop its aggression on Venezuela.
