Imran Khan, Pakistan’s prime minister, stepped up his war of words with India over its decision to revoke Jammu and Kashmir’s autonomy, suggesting that the Indian government was motivated by an ideology comparable to Nazism.
Mr Khan, who is under mounting domestic pressure to take a harder stance, wrote on Twitter that India’s decision to scrap a constitutional provision ensuring the autonomy of Jammu and Kashmir amounted to “an impending genocide”.
“Attempt is to change demography of Kashmir through ethnic cleansing,” he wrote. “Question is: Will the world watch & appease as they did Hitler at Munich?” The ideology behind India’s actions, Mr Khan continued, “will lead to suppression of Muslims in India & eventually lead to targeting of Pakistan.”
