Supreme Court lawyer and human rights activist Prashant Bhushan has accused India of aiding genocide through its arms exports to Israel. Speaking at St. Albert’s College in Kochi, Bhushan argued that such exports violate Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees fundamental rights to all, including non-citizens. He emphasized that the International Court of Justice has ruled Israel’s actions against Palestinians as genocide, and India’s support through arms sales contravenes international conventions. Bhushan is petitioning the Supreme Court to halt these exports, citing concerns about judicial accountability and foreign policy implications.
