CPI(M) Condemns US Indictment of Raul Castro and Warns Against Intervention in Cuba

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) unanimously condemned the US Department of Justice's recent indictment of former Cuban leader Raul Castro, describing it as an illegal and politically motivated move linked to a 1996 incident involving Miami-based Brothers to the Rescue. The CPI(M) accused the US of imperialist efforts to destabilize Cuba and pursue regime change, warning that any military intervention could cause a humanitarian crisis. The party expressed solidarity with Cuba and urged Indians to oppose these actions.
