About Kashmir issue, PM said the Indian government has put eighty million innocent people under siege in Occupied Kashmir for the last 29 nine days.

He said war is no solution to any issue but the prevailing situation in Occupied Kashmir is not acceptable.

PM said establishing good relations with India was his priority after coming into power but unfortunately Indian response remained negative.

Imran Khan said RSS has racist ideology, inspired by Hitler’s Nazism.

He said this ideology is not only a threat to Muslims but to other religions too.

He said RSS is victimizing Muslims and Christians and later it will also be targeting Dalits and Sikhs in India.
