New Delhi/UNI: Condemning the killing of Qassem Soleimani, Iran's top General of the armed forces (the Quds) by the United States, Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) on Saturday said the assassination of the head of the armed forces of a sovereign country is an act of international banditry by the Trump administration'.
Qassem Soleimani was killed through a drone strike outside Baghdad airport by US forces.
"It is going to have incalculable consequences for West Asia and the Gulf region. The United
States will be responsible for any conflict and violence that ensues", the Left party added.
Taking on the Narendra Modi government's response to the act, The CPI(M) has also said, "It is unfortunate that the Modi government has merely 'noted that a senior Iranian leader has been killed by the US', without even disapproving this heinous act".
"It shows how the government has become a tame ally of the United States", it added.
