About Kashmir issue, Imran Khan said the Indian government has put eighty million innocent people under siege in Occupied Kashmir for the last 29 nine days.
“War is no solution to any issue but the prevailing situation in Occupied Kashmir is not acceptable,” the premier said, adding that establishing good relations with the eastern neighbour was his priority after coming into power but unfortunately Indian response remained negative.
Imran Khan said RSS has racist ideology, inspired by Hitler’s Nazism. “This ideology is not only a threat to Muslims but to other religions too.
“RSS is victimizing Muslims and Christians and later it will also be targeting Dalits and Sikhs in India.”
He went on to say that the RSS ideology is also a threat to India itself.
In the end, he warned the world nations that any further escalation between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir issue could lead to a nuclear war.
