PM Imran says Modi's RSS-inspired doctrine in IOJ&K quite clear

Says India linking Kashmiris' struggle to terrorism to lay grounds for a false flag operation against Pakistan

Slamming Indian atrocities in occupied Kashmir, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday hit out at his Indian counterpart stating that his RSS-inspired doctrine regarding Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IOJK) was quite clear.

In a tweet on Sunday, the premier stated that the first step in Modi's doctrine was to deprive the people of Kashmir of their right to self-determination by illegally annexing their land to the state of India.

Second, he said, was treating them as less than human by a three-pronged approach that included, "one, trying to crush them with brute force incl[uding] using inhumane weapons like pellet guns against women & children; two, imposing an inhumane lockdown depriving Kashmiris of basic necessities from food to medicines; & three, by mass arrests of Kashmiris esp youth & isolating IOJK from the world by cutting off all communication links."

The premier stated that the third part of his doctrine was to taint the Kashmiris' right to struggle for self determination, which was guaranteed in the UNSC Resolutions, as terrorism being abetted by Pakistan.

Modi's RSS-inspired doctrine on IOJK very clear: First, deprive Kashmiris of their right of self determination by illegal annexation of an Occupied territory. Second, treat them as less than human by a three-pronged approach: one, trying to crush them with brute force incl using

He said the Indian state was doing this to create an opportunity to carry out a false flag operation against Pakistan, while detracting the world's attention away from Indian state terrorism in IOJK.

A day earlier Pakistan had angrily spurned the Indian army chief’s recent allegations of organising and supporting a new “terror group” in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IoJ&K), known as ‘The Resistance Front’.

“I would rather call it Terror Revival Front. It is another terrorist organisation by another name. This is a terrorist organisation supported by its proxies across the border. They will be dealt with appropriately,” General MM Naravane had said in a interview with ANI.

Foreign Office spokesperson Aisha Farooqui had responded to the provocative statement saying, “We reject Indian army chief’s recent comments levelling allegations against Pakistan and hurling threats.”

She said such allegations are part of India’s “desperate” attempts to divert the world’s attention from its “state-terrorism and egregious violations of human rights in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJ&K),” which has been under lockdown since August 5 last year when Delhi abrogated its constitutional status.
