Imran Khan Warns of Nuclear War with India
Comparing Modi with Adolf Hitler and BJP with the Nazi Party, Imran Khan says that Modi has already crushed the opposition voices and all opposition leaders in India have succumbed to Modi’s authoritarian diktats.

Pakistan Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan said today that a nuclear war with the enemy nation India cannot be ruled out.
He was addressing the Joint Session of Parliament in Islamabad and expressed his displeasure over India’s unilateral decision on Monday to change the constitutional status of Kashmir, which is a disputed territory between India and Pakistan.
Imran Khan said that the government of PM Narendra Modi in India is suppressing the voice of Kashmiris (most of whom are Muslims) who want independence from India.
The Modi government has revoked Article 370 which gave special status to Jammu & Kashmir (J&K). India’s Rajya Sabha approved the resolution abrogating Article 370 for J&K and a bill to bifurcate the state into two union territories: J&K and Ladakh.
Imran Khan said that Modi’s party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is influenced by the militant ideology of its parent organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) which is hell-bent to make India a Hindu nation where Muslims will be tortured and persecuted.

Imran Khan – who unlike Modi is a highly educated and civilized leader – said that Modi government’s dictatorial decision to suppress Kashmir’s freedom movement is driven by racial mindset and is aimed to exercise ethnic cleansing in troubled Kashmir.
Comparing Modi with Adolf Hitler and BJP with the Nazi Party, Imran Khan added that Modi has already crushed the opposition voices and all opposition leaders in India have succumbed to Modi’s authoritarian diktats.
He cautioned that Modi will not be able to deal with the freedom struggle of Kashmiris who will fight a do-or-die battle with the Indian security forces.
As the tension between India and Pakistan over Kashmir issue has already reached a dangerous level, Imran Khan said that a conventional war with India is imminent and it can lead to a nuclear conflict. Both India and Pakistan are nuclear-armed countries.
While Pakistan prefers peace, the Indian leaders – Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah – have converted India to a despotic state where they quell any type of dissent with force. Both Modi and Shah have a criminal past.
Modi was an accused in the 2002 Gujarat riots in which nearly 2000 Muslims were murdered and Shah was an accused in the murder of Judge Loya who was hearing a controversial case of the alleged ‘fake encounter’ killing of Sohrabuddin Sheikh in 2005.
Earlier today Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General António Guterres to apprise him about the critical situation of the “Indian-Occupied Kashmir” and the state of regional peace and security.
Pakistan is also planning to file an appeal to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against India’s decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).
Of late, the U.S. President Donald Trump has also expressed his desire to resolve the burning Kashmir issue as he said that PM Modi wants him to intervene, although India’s Ministry of External Affairs has denied the claim made by the U.S. President about Modi’s request.
