A LETTER TO THE EDITOR: INDIA SHOULD CONDEMN THIS OPEN THREAT TO INTERNATION LAW
'Israel should consider killing Ahmadinejad', is the headline of the story put out by PTI. There is no doubt in legal terms, this brand of threat of assassination of head of state, it is a criminal act. And since all UN member countries are bound by international laws to take note of such threats and move UN legal measures to suggest appropriate response to such violent threats publicly propagated, Indian government should take specially interest, as the next member of the top table in the world affair, to discourage and denounce such lawless threat to a UN member country's head of state, with whom India has friendly relations.
Government of India must issue its response to such open threats and make it clear to Israel that no such illegal and criminal act will ever find favour with India that is committed to solving all international problems by negotiation and not by violent means. India herself had been victimised by assassination of its leaders in the past. It can again become a target of internal or external threats to its leaders.
Government must take her public in confidence, about internal and external movements that hold a constant threat to its stability and integrity and join UN to see that all UN members should make public renunciation of such threat of assassination and punish those who are found to flaunt the world laws and public opinion. Israel must haul the candidate likely to be defence minister, to court and get him debarred from participation in coming election in Israel.
India's silence may be interpreted as condoning such acts of violence to bring about regime change in the world, as it happened in India.
