He further added, “Over one billion Muslims are watching this unfold. But where is the world community? This will have repercussions and will create radicalisation. I am flagging this right now.”
The premier said: “If eight million Europeans or Jews or Americans were put under siege […] well even if eight Americans had been put under siege, you can imagine the reaction.”
He further added that Muslim countries must awaken the international community about the plight of the people in Kashmir.
The prime minister will conclude his day-long engagements by giving an interview to a journalist. Khan will address the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) this upcoming Friday.
