Hyderabad: Even as Pakistan has failed to curb the spread of COVID-19, Prime Minister Imran Khan spewed anti-India venom and chant Kashmir rhetoric.
During an interview with a US-based news agency over the spread of the virus and its global impact, the Pakistani Prime Minister went out of the context and started blabbering over Kashmir and new citizenship law.
Khan raised concern over India's worst Hindu-Muslim violence in decades, saying the Indian prime minister's Hindu nationalist-led government threatened to disenfranchise hundreds of millions of people through a controversial new citizenship law.
He also said he is warned about violent strife on the other side of his eastern border, amid the rise Hindu nationalism in India.
“The worst nightmare of the world has happened — an extremist, racial party that believes in racial superiority has taken over a country of more than one billion people and has nuclear weapons,” he said referring to the ruling BJP.

“That's when I went to the United Nations" to warn of the danger posed by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist-led government, he said.
Islamabad and New Delhi have a long history of bitter relations since gaining independence from British colonial rule in 1947.
Tensions have been high between the two nations since last year after New Delhi revoked special status accorded to Kashmir under Article 370.
