“There can be bloodbath in Kashmir, once the curfew is lifted,” Imran Khan at UNGA

Imran Khan alleged that Hindus used to carry out terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka before 9/11 but nobody accuses them of terrorism.

 

New York| In what can be called as a rant, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan raised the issue of Kashmir in the 74th United Nations General Assembly. In his tirade, he not only spoke against India but also slammed the western countries for their alleged “Islamophobia”. He even dragged religion into the terrorism debate.

Imran Khan said that the Kashmir situation will lead 130 crores Muslims around the world to extremism. He said that Hindus used to carry out terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka before 9/11 but nobody accuses them. “Islamophobia spread rapidly in the world after 9/11,” Khan said.

 

“Islamophobia on the rise after 9/11”

Imran Khan in his speech said, “After 9/11, Islamophobia is growing so fast that the situation has become worse.” He pointed out that Muslim women wearing hijab have become an issue. He said that western countries consider Hijab to be some kind of weapon. Blaming the western leaders for the stigma, he said, “This is happening only because of Islamophobia. It has started since 9/11. This is because some Western leaders linked Islam to terrorism.”

“No Militant Organizations in Pakistan”

Imran Khan also claimed that Pakistan is a victim of terrorism and does not have any militant organizations. He said, “Those who accuse us of having terrorist organizations here, we say send UN Observers. We do not have terrorist organizations here.” Complaining about India’s refusal to conduct dialogue, Khan said, “When our party came to power, we tried to go to India first. I talked to Modi that our problems are one, we should cooperate among ourselves. We have terrorist attacks here. We said leave the past behind. India cancelled it.”

He further said that India accused Pakistan of Pulwama attack, but instead of sending any evidence, it sent fighter jets and bombed Pakistan’s territory. “We shot down two of their jets and caught their pilot and sent him back as well. Instead of seeing it as a message of peace, Modi showed how he avenged the killing of 50 soldiers in his election campaign,” Khan said.

He stated that Pakistan contacted India after the election was over, but it did not respond. “We then came to know that they wanted to bankrupt us,” Khan said.

 

“Bloodbath in Kashmir after curfew is lifted”

Since India abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan is trying to internationalize the issue. However, has failed multiple times. In yet another effort, Imran Khan raked up the Kashmir issue in his UNGA speech.

Khan said that India deployed 90 thousand security forces in Kashmir putting eight million people in curfew. Anyone can do this. He said once the curfew is lifted the anger of the people will come out. “Rivers of blood will flow in Kashmir,” Khan claimed. He also said that India will blame Kashmir for this violence. “Once curfew is lifted there will be a bigger attack than Pulwama, then they will come and bomb us,” Imran Khan said.

 

“RSS influenced by Hitler and Musolini”

Imran Khan also targetted RSS and said that the Sangh is influenced by Hitler and Mussolini. Khan said, “They consider the Hindu race above. They have a hatred for Muslims and Christians. They believe that the golden period of Hindu rule came to an end due to Muslims. The ideology of this hatred killed the great Mahatma Gandhi. In 2002, due to this hatred ideology, Modi allowed Sangh goons to spread violence in Gujarat. They killed Muslims and hundreds of Muslims became homeless.”
