Pakistan to have ‘direct military confrontation’ with India if world ignores Kashmir: Imran Khan

August 31: In an op-ed article for The New York Times, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned that a ‘direct military confrontation’ with India ‘will get ever closer’ if the world ignores the Kashmir issue.

In a series of tweets, Khan had used words like ‘fascist’ and ‘ethnic cleansing’, while giving a call to Pakistanis to come out and express solidarity with the people of Kashmir on Friday.

In the NYT op-ed, Khan wrote: “If the world does nothing to stop the Indian assault on Kashmir and its people, there will be consequences for the whole world as two nuclear-armed states get ever closer to a direct military confrontation”.

In his piece, Khan also trained his guns on RSS and said that the RSS took inspiration from the likes of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

However, the Ministry of External Affairs yesterday condemned the recent remarks made by Pakistani leadership on India’s internal matters, saying ‘the provocative statements include call for jihad and inciting violence in India.’
