Hezbollah praises Indian Army; seeks political & diplomatic support
New Delhi, March. 12 (PTI): Lebanese movement Hezbollah today lauded the Indian Army deployed as UN peacekeepers in the southern part of that country and said it looks forward to New Delhi's political and diplomatic support to the Lebanese and Palestinian people.
"The role of the Indian army deployed as part of UN peacekeepers in southern Lebanon is very positive and it has no problem with the people and Hezbollah," Hezbollah spokesperson Ali Fayyad said here.
"We decided and we still deal positively with the international forces deployed in southern Lebanon," Fayyad said, adding "Hezbollah fully complied with the UN resolution 1701 despite knowing that the resolution is biased and against the Lebanese people."
"We are looking for more co-operation and more political and diplomatic support from India to the people of Palestine and Lebanon," Fayyad, who was here to participate in a three-day conference on West Asia, told PTI on the sidelines of the conference.
Fayyad also dismissed the US allegation that Hezbollah is training the Iraqi Shi'ite militias and said "We don't have any relation with Iraqi parties and our role is in Lebanon only. We refuse to make any influence in other countries".
He accused America of leading the world towards chaos and violence, and destabilising Lebanon and said there was no civil war in his country.
During the three-day conference, academics and political activists including those from Hamas and Hezbollah and Arab leaders will express their views and opinions over the region's crisis and its possible solution.

If Indians cared about the Palestinians then they would have put a condition on Israel to first give back the land which they have held illegally, before buying weapons.
