Earlier, PM Khan in an interview with Turkish media had also claimed that the Modi-led BJP government was preparing to repeat the Myanmar style genocide and expulsion of its minority population.
Khan in an interview had stated said that as many as 500 million people will be omitted from the citizenship list under India’s new citizenship bill which is followed by updating the exercise of the National Register of Citizens (NRC).
“This is exactly what happened in Myanmar when they first started the registration act and that’s how they excluded the Muslims and then the genocide took place. I am afraid this is where it is heading in India,” Khan said

Speaking at the two-day refugee summit in Islamabad on 40 years of hosting Afghan refugees in Pakistan, Khan said India’s Hindutva ideology based on Nazism is not halted now, it could lead to the destruction of the entire region.
“Because of the Hindutva ideology Kashmiris have been persecuted for over 200 days while living under a lockdown,” Khan emphasised adding that under the same ideology, the BJP government passed two discriminatory nationalistic legislation, targeting 200 million Muslims in India.
