After Article 370, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday took National Register of Citizens (NRC) to attack the Modi government that is published today.
Referring to the NRC that excluded over 19 lakh people in Assam, Imran Khan claimed that the ‘illegal annexation of occupied Kashmir’ is part of a wider policy of the Indian government ‘to target Muslims’.
Taking it to the social media platform, Khan tweeted, “The reports of the genocide of Muslims in the Indian and international media by the Modi government should raise alarm bells around the world that illegal occupation of Kashmir is part of a larger strategy against Muslims.”
It is to be mentioned that the final draft of NRC has been published today in which 19,06,657 persons have been excluded.
