Imran Khan warns world of 'severe repercussions' in Muslim world in case of ethnic cleansing in Kashmir

In a tweet on India's 73rd Independence Day, Khan tweeted, "In IOK, 12 days of curfew, presence of extra troops in an already heavily militarized occupied territory, sending in of RSS goons, complete communication blackout; with the example of Modi's earlier ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Gujarat."

"Will world silently witness another Srebrenica-type massacre & ethnic cleansing of Muslims in IOK? I want to warn international community if it allows this to happen, it will have severe repercussions & reactions in the Muslim world setting off radicalisation & cycles of violence" he added.

The relation between the two countries have worsened in recent times after India withdrew the special status of Jammu and Kashmir by abrogating Articles 370 and 35A.

As a reaction to the Modi government's step, Pakistan has already downgraded trade ties with India. However, India has urged its neighbour to reconsider its decision accusing Pakistan of trying to portray an "alarmist" picture of the trade ties between the two nations.

Not only to Pakistan, India has also clarified to China that Kashmir is an internal matter of the country.
