PM Khan, in an address to the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, warned there would be a bloodbath once India lifts its restrictions in Occupied Kashmir which have been in force since the Modi government revoked the region’s decades-old autonomy in August and detained thousands of people.
The premier also warned the world about the threats Modi government’s Hindu-supremacist agenda poses to the world and how suppressing the freedom movement of Kashmir can result in a nuclear war.
He also touched upon the topic of Islamophobia and maintained that some political leaders coined the term “radical Islamic terrorism” for political benefits and shed light upon how the resulting hate then led to Islamophobia in the west.
