Pakistan PM Imran Khan
Hours before Prime Minister Narendra Modi-Chinese President Xi Jinping meet in Mamallapuram, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan expressed disappointment at the international media coverage of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
Drawing parallels between Hong Kong protests and Kashmir lockdown, Pakistan Prime Minister said he was puzzled as to how international media continues to give headline coverage to Hong Kong protests but ignores the dire human rights crisis in Kashmir.
"For over two months with a complete blackout of communications, thousands imprisoned, incl entire spectrum of pol leadership plus children, & a growing humanitarian crisis," Imran Khan tweeted on Friday as he mentioned the UNSC resolutions yet again.
Pakistan PM Imran Khan's tweets came ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping's meeting in Mamallapuram to reconfigure ties strained by a tough talk on the Kashmir issue by both sides.
Xi Jinping had earlier met Imran Khan in China. A joint statement issued after talks between President Xi and Imran Khan said that China is paying "close attention" to the situation in the Kashmir and that it should be properly and peacefully resolved based on the UN Charter.
After the meeting, Congress had slammed the Narendra Modi-led government for failing to stop China from interfering in the internal matters of India.
Taking to Twitter, Congress leader Manish Tewari had asked why does India not raise issues of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, human rights violations in Xinjiang like China continues to express concern on Kashmir.
"Xi Jinping says he is watching Kashmir but why does PMO India/MEA not say 1)We are watching pro-democracy protests muzzled in Hong Kong. 2 )We are watching human rights violations in Xinjiang. 3 )We are watching continued oppression in Tibet 4 )We are watching the South China Sea," Congress's Manish Tewari wrote on Twitter as he hit out at the Centre for its inability to stop China from interfering in India's internal matters.
