PM Imran Khan warns India against any 'misadventure'

PM Imran, in his fierce UNGA address, warned India against carrying out any misadventure, saying "it will be met by a nation that is ready to fight till the end for its freedom" as he addressed the 75th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session via video earlier last week.

"While the Nazis' hate was directed at the Jews, the RSS directs it at the Muslims, and to a lesser extent, the Christians," the premier had 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"The secularism of Gandhi and Nehru has been replaced by the dream of creating a Hindu Rashtra, by subjugating, even cleansing India's 200 million Muslims and other minorities," he had said.

PM Imran at length 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 had said.
