August 8, 2019
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced to continue diplomatic, political and moral support to Kashmiris. Talking to senior journalists on Thursday, he said that Pakistan does not want war. “We will give a befitting reply to India if it tried to impose the war on us,” he said. The prime minister said that the Modi government has Hitler-like mentality and wants to change geography of Occupied Kashmir. “We will tell the world that the Modi government is committing genocide of the Kashmiris,” he said. He said that India could do anything to divert the attention from Kashmir. In a tweet, he said that the whole world is waiting to see what happens to oppressed Kashmiris in IOK when curfew is lifted. “Does the BJP govt think by using greater military force against Kashmiris in IOK, it will stop the freedom movement? Chances are it will gain momentum,” he said. https://twitter.com/ImranKhanPTI/status/1159463875655479296?s=20 Prime Minister Imran Khan said: “What should be obvious is the international community will be witnessing the genocide of the Kashmiris in IOK. Question is: Will we watch another appeasement of fascism, this time in the garb of BJP govt, or will the international community have the moral courage to stop this from happening?”
