SRINAGAR: National Conference (NC) Member of Parliament Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Friday criticised Israel over its recent military actions, calling it a “colonial thug” targeting sovereign nations.

In a post on X, Mehdi said, “Israel has now bombed Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran, and still plays the victim. This rogue Zionist regime isn’t defending itself, it’s behaving like a colonial thug.”
The Srinagar MP further stated that attacking sovereign nations does not confer power but defines a state as a “terrorist”. He said Iran, like any sovereign country, has the right to defend itself and take “punishing revenge”.
“The Zionist regime should pay for its crimes in Gaza, for its bloodlust, for its massacres,” he added.
Mehdi also criticised India’s abstention from a United Nations General Assembly vote on a resolution seeking an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
