Referring to another recent study the minister said that by 2040, there will be no drinking water in almost all of India. He said that India has been committing grave human rights violation in Occupied Kashmir by using pallet guns against innocent Kashmiris and international community should come forward to look into the grave situation.
He said that instead of punishing them, protests are held in India in favour of child rapists.
The Minister said that safety and dignity of human life has become more and more fragile with every passing day. He said minorities especially Muslims and Sikh community are facing deteriorating situation in India which shows the real face of Modi's government.
