Continuous curfew in IoK shows fascist mindset of Indian govt: PM

• PM said Kashmiris are being subjected to worst violation of their human rights while powerful countries remain silent for 'trading interests'.
• IoK has been under lockdown since August 5.

Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has said that the recent statement by India’s consul-general to New York City Sandeep Chakravorty shows the fascist mindset of the Indian government's Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideology.

Speaking at an event in NYC, Chakravorty said India will build settlements modelled after Israel for the return of the Hindu population to Indian-occupied Kashmir, Middle East Eye reported. "I don’t know why we don’t follow it. It has happened in the Middle East. If the Israeli people can do it, we can also do it,” Chakravorty said.

Following the consul-general's remarks, the PM took to his Twitter handle on Wednesday and condemned the statement, saying that this shows the fascist mindset of the Indian government's RSS ideology that has continued the siege of IOK for over 100 days.

He further said that India has subjected the Kashmiris to the worst violation of their human rights while the powerful countries remain silent 'because of their trading interests'.
