ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday questioned Indian PrimeMinister Narendra Modi for being silent after Hindu activists seekRohingya-like mass murder and exodus of Indian Muslims.
Khan, in a recent post, asked whether the silence of the Modi government onthe issue meant the endorsement of this anti-Muslim rhetoric.
He also called on international authorities on the continuing silence ofthe Indian govt on the call at an extremist Hindutva summit in Dec for thegenocide of minorities, especially the 200 million Muslim community.
“It is high time the international community took note and acted”, Khanwrote as no leader of leading countries condemned or raise questions onHindu fanatic’s call.
In another tweet, the premier said all religious minorities living in Indiawere targeted by Hindutva groups with impunity during the government of theBhartiya Janata Party (BJP). “The extremist agenda of the Modi-ledgovernment is real and a present threat to peace in our region,” he said.
