Imran Khan draws parallel between global coronavirus lockdown and IOK situation

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday drew the attention of international community towards the plight of Kashmiris who have been under a lockdown for eight months now.

Taking to Twitter, PM Khan draw the parallel between the coronavirus lockdown and situation in the occupied Kashmir. He said that protests broke out in many parts of the world due to the lockdown despite provision of medical, financial and food assistance.

“Perhaps now int community can understand the suffering of Kashmiris in IOJK as they suffer brutal oppression under an inhumane politico-mly lockdown continuing for over 8 months now without any provision of medical, financial, communication or food assistance. In fact the racist Hindutva Supremacist Modi Govt has ensured that Kashmiris are deprived of all basic amenities during lockdown,” he added.

On April 19, Khan also slammed India for trying to blame Muslims for the growing number of coronavirus cases in India.

“The deliberate & violent targeting of Muslims in India by Modi Govt to divert the backlash over its COVID19 policy, which has left thousands stranded & hungry, is akin to what Nazis did to Jews in Gerrmany. Yet more proof of the racist Hindutva Supremacist ideology of Modi Govt.”

Demonstrations in various parts of the world are now going on against lockdowns during a pandemic – despite prov of medical, financial, communication & food assistance. Perhaps now int community can understand the suffering of Kashmiris in IOJK as they suffer brutal oppression
