Left parties march in Kolkata against Israel's military operation in Gaza

The CPI(M) and other Left parties took out an 'anti-war' march here on Wednesday against Israel's military offensive in Gaza, demanding a US-brokered ceasefire to halt the conflict. Israel launched a military operation in Gaza, following a militant attack by Hamas in the first week of October. Raising slogans against the Israeli offensive, leaders and supporters of the Left parties marched from Mahajati Sadan in north Kolkata to Ramleela Park in the central part of the city.
