Muzaffarabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday criticized India for torture and other human rights violations in the occupied Kashmir during an event in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
He said the helpless people of occupied Kashmir were facing unprecedented torture by India and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-inspired “extremist Modi government”.
The premier said the 800,000 Indian army troops were inflicting torture on the Kashmiris “with a plan”, adding that Modi’s mindset had become clear with his role in the 2002 massacre of Muslims in Gujarat.
“He is not a normal man; he is a psychopath. He thinks of the Nazis as role models and that’s why he thinks this way,” he told the audience.
The prime minister said the Indian violence in occupied Kashmir was “going towards genocide” and he as “Kashmir’s ambassador” had gone to various heads of states and explained to them the RSS and their extreme mindset.
“They will also go after Sikhs and other lower castes, this is a Brahman mindset. It is destroying India in reality … the Hindu who are literate understand where he is taking them.”
The premier said the Kashmiri movement cannot be suppressed through force and his government will take the issue to the world.
“We raised this issue to a great extent in the UN but unfortunately when we came back someone had the Azaadi March, so that was sabotaged and the cause was muted. We will pick it up again and build up to August 5,” he announced.
On the occasion, the prime minister announced a special relief package for people living close to the Line of Control under the government’s flagship Ehsaas welfare programme.
He said the programme will reach 138,000 families in the region who will receive cash assistance, while 1.2 million people in AJK will also receive health cards, which they can use to avail treatment of up to Rs1 million.
