Imran Khan questions world's 'silence' on Kashmir

Islamabad, Aug 15 (IANS): Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday questioned the international community's "silence" on the Kashmir situation and warned that "if ethnic cleansing of Muslims takes place in the region, there would be severe repercussions".

Pakistan observed India's Independence Day on Thursday as "Black Day" amid heightened tensions between the two neighbours following New Delhi's move to scrap Article 370 granting special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

"In Indian-Occupied Kashmir, 12 days of curfew, presence of extra troops in an already heavily militarised occupied territory... complete communication blackout -- with the example of (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi's earlier ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Gujarat," the cricketer-turned-politician wrote on Twitter.

"Will (the) world silently witness another Srebrenica-type massacre and ethnic cleansing of Muslims in IoK," he asked. "I want to warn the international community that if it allows this to happen, it will have severe repercussions and reactions in the Muslim world, setting off radicalisation and cycles of violence."

On Wednesday, Khan celebrated Pakistan's Independence Day in "Azad Jammu and Kashmir" (AJK) to express "solidarity with the Kashmiris".

Addressing a special session of the AJK Legislative Assembly in Muzaffarabad, Khan had said that any "miscalculation" on the part of New Delhi would elicit a "tit-for-tat" response from Islamabad.

"The Pakistan Army is battle-hardened and it is fully ready to respond to any violation by India. The entire nation is ready and stands alongside its armed forces," Khan had said.

    Imran Khan and these Pakistani's (some of them on this forum, just see those who disagree) still don't get it.

    Pakistan took mean advantage of India when it was run by corrupt and weak Congress rulers, who gave into Pakistanis demands over a long period of time, and all what they were interested in filling their pockets.

    But now things have change and we have a strong government that will give the Pakistanis the the type of Justice they deserve. Israel is a shining example to speak to these Islamist in the language they all understand best .

    When all options fail to draw global support, you play the religion card and talk of ethnic cleansing. Where were you when there was ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pundits in the early 1990s?

    Pakistan , give up Kashmir issue and release PoK to India.

    Indian PM Mr Nehru,and his sister Mrs. Vijaya Laxmi Pundit whose ancestors are from Kashmir made a terrible mistake by raising the Kashmir issue at UNO, when his sister was Indian representatives at UNO, without the permission of Indian cabinet.

    World knows the history of Kashmir. Mr. Prime Minister of Pakistan, please just give up Kashmir, let unified Kashmir be in India. People of Kashmir will be happy to be in India.

    It's a age old saying " If you are deaf to the world, world will be deaf to you ". Even your Arab brothers from gulf and Muslims world are against your support, harbouring and exporting terrorists. You are an enemy of your own Muslim brother neighbours Iran and Afghanistan. Your end will be by your own terrorist friends whom you set for others.
