              New Delhi: India Monday 
              said it has strongly objected to the cancellation of a Non-Aligned 
              Movement (NAM) meeting on Palestine that was to be held at Ramallah and this only strengthened its resolve to assist the 
              Palestinians to their "inalienable right" to statehood.
 The NAM meeting, to be hosted by the the Palestine Authority on 
              Sunday, could not be held although it was decided in May to have 
              the meeting.
 
 "The NAM ministerial committee on Palestine was to meet at 
              Ramallah. Unfortunately, this could not take place, although it 
              had been decided way back in May 10 this year," external affairs 
              ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin told reporters here.
 
 "We have taken strong objection to this fact that we are unable to 
              express solidarity with the Palestinian people by holding this 
              meeting in Ramallah," Akbaruddin said.
 
 "But this only strengthens our resolve to assist the Palestinian 
              people in their legitimate quest for dignity and in their 
              inalienable right to statehood," he added.
 
 This was to be the first-ever NAM ministerial meeting on 
              Palestine.
