ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is targeting Muslims in his country to divert backlash over his COVID-19 policy.
In a tweet PM Imran wrote, “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 Germany. Yet more proof of the racist Hindutva supremacist ideology of Modi Govt.”

According to reports, the outbreak of COVID-19 in India had triggered a series of attacks against Muslims across the country, with the health ministry of Modi’s Hindu nationalist government claiming that Muslims were spreading the coronavirus.
The reports stated, “Young Muslim men who were passing out food to the poor were assaulted with cricket bats. … Other Muslims have been beaten up, nearly lynched, run out of their neighborhoods or attacked in mosques, branded as COVID-19 spreaders.”
Meanwhile, President Dr Arif Alvi also said that the Indian government’s abhorrent priority was to suppress the Indian Occupied Kashmir Muslims and 95,000 Muslims have been martyred since 1989 in IOK.
In a tweet, Dr Alvi shared sobering data on occupied Kashmir, which revealed there was one ventilator for every 71,000 people, one doctor for every 3,900 people, and one armed soldier for every nine people in the Muslim-majority region. He sourced his data to the Greater Kashmir and Economic Times publications and the Jammu And Kashmir Civil Coalition Society.
بھارتی حکومت کی مکروہ ترجیح بھارتی مقبوضہ کشمیر کے عوام کو دبانا ہے۔ ان کے فوجیوں نے یہ کام انتہائی درندگی، تشدد اور جبر کے ذریعے انجام دیا ہے۔ 1989 سے لے کر اب تک 95 ہزار سے زیادہ بے گناہ افراد کی شہادت چیخ چیخ کر دنیا کو پکار رہی ہے۔ pic.twitter.com/IjzK1GzDIR

He further wrote, “Their soldiers have carried out this primary task through heinous brutalization, torture & suppression. With more than 95K innocent killed since 1989 these numbers shout out to the world.”
