Indian diplomat walks out during PM Imran UNGA speech
PM Imran Khan raised the Kashmir issue and criticized the Indian government.
NEW YORK (Dunya News) – The Indian delegate at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) meeting walked out of the hall when Prime Minister Imran Khan started his address to the assembly.
PM Imran Khan raised the Kashmir issue, as he has done in recent speeches to multilateral bodies, and criticized the Indian government on several issues.
The premier said that the one country in the world today where, the state sponsors Islamophobia, is India, adding that the reason behind this is RSS ideology that unfortunately rules India today.
“This extremist ideology was founded in 1920s,” he said and added the RSS founding fathers were inspired by the Nazis and they adopted their concepts of racial purity and supremacy.
"While the Nazis hate was directed at the Jews, the RSS directs it at the Muslims, and to a lesser extent, the Christians," he said, adding that the extremist ideologists believe that India is exclusively for Hindus and others are not equal citizens.
"The secularism of Gandhi and Nehru has been replaced by the dream of creating a Hindu Rashtra, by subjugating, even cleansing India s 200 million Muslims and other minorities," he said.
Imran Khan also spoke about the RSS s attempt to destroy the Babri Masjid and the massacre of 2,000 Muslims in the Gujarat riots. "And this was [Gujarat massacre] under the watch of chief minister Modi," he said.
