ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan said that Pakistan had done whatever it could do for the Afghan peace process and would continue sincere efforts in this regard. Addressing a conference titled “40 years of Afghan Refugees Presence in Pakistan: A New Partnership for Solidarity”, the prime minister said that one billion population of India has been dominated by extremist mentality. Imran Khan warned world to take notice of India’s ultranationalist ideology based on Nazism. He urged to take notice of India’s Hindutva ideology based on Nazism, otherwise things will go far worse. “If this ideology is not checked, this will lead to destruction and the region will become a flashpoint,” he added. The premier said the Indian prime minister’s statement that they can destroy Pakistan in eleven days is not a responsible statement by a prime minister of a nuclear state with a huge population. He said because of the Hindutva ideology Kashmiris have been persecuted for over 200 days while living under a lockdown. He said under the same ideology, BJP government passed two discriminatory nationalistic legislations, targeting 200 million Muslims in India. “If the international community does not take notice of this situation, it will create another refugee crisis for Pakistan as Muslims of India have been asked to move to Pakistan,” PM Khan said.
