Would no longer seek dialogue with India: PM Khan

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that he will no longer seek dialogue with India after repeated rebuffs from the Modi government at his efforts for peace and negotiation.

In an interview with the US-based newspaper, the prime minister said, “There is no point in talking to them. I mean, I have done all the talking.”

He added, “Unfortunately, now when I look back, all the overtures that I was making for peace and dialogue, I think they took it for appeasement, there is nothing more that we can do.”

Imran Khan has compared the Hindu supremacist ideology of the Indian government to the Nazi-propelled RSS ideology, as India continues to maintain a strict lockdown in occupied Kashmir earlier this month.

He added, “The most important thing is that lives of eight million people are at risk. We are all worried that there is an ethnic cleansing and a genocide about to happen.”

He also expressed concern that India might undertake a deceptive false-flag operation in occupied Kashmir to try to justify military action against Pakistan and in return our country would be forced to respond.

He said, “And then you are looking at two nuclear-armed countries eyeball to eyeball, and anything can happen.”

Khan added, “My worry is that this can escalate and for two nuclear-armed countries, it should be alarming for the world what we are facing now.”

The prime minister has repeatedly urged the international community to take action against the genocide slowly unfolding in the occupied territory, as Indian troops continue their atrocities against the Kashmiri people.
