CM Sarma took to platform X saying, "Congress’s resolution has striking similarities with statements of Pakistan & Taliban. All 3 ❌Do not condemn Hamas,❌Do not deplore terror attack on Israel,❌Silent on hostages - women &  children. Sacrificing the nation’s interest to politics of appeasement is in Cong’s DNA".

A particular point mentioned in Congress's resolution read, "Finally, the CWC expresses its dismay and anguish on the war that has broken out in the Middle East where over a thousand people have been killed in the last two days. The CWC reiterates its long-standing support for the rights of the Palestinian people to land, self-government and to live with dignity and respect. The CWC calls for an immediate cease-fire and for negotiations to begin on all outstanding issues including issues that have been rise to "the present conflict".
