Concerned about violence, says India

India on Thursday expressed concern at continuing violence in Jerusalem, especially at Haram Al Sharif and other Palestinian territories, and the possible eviction of people in East Jerusalem. New Delhi’s concerns were conveyed in a statement by Indra Mani Pandey, the country’s permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, during a session of the Human Rights Council. The statement contained no reference to India’s traditional stance of supporting the “just Palestinian cause” but reiterated backing for a two-state solution.
