Islamabad (Web Desk): Prime Minister Imran Khan said that Indian PM Narendra Modi’s Hindu supremacist agenda is akin to the Nazi pogrom of Jews in the 1930s.
“Narendra Modi’s Hindu supremacist agenda is akin to the Nazi pogrom of Jews while the major powers appeased Hitler. Modi conducted pogrom against Muslims in Gujarat as CM and now we are seeing the same in New Delhi,” PM Khan said in a tweet.
The premier in his tweet noted how Dr Priyamvada Gopal, a lecturer at the University of Cambridge, in her interview likened the violence against Muslims in Delhi to the Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass, which was a pogrom against Jews carried out by SA paramilitary forces and civilians throughout Nazi Germany on November 9 -10, 1938.
The Nazis in Germany torched synagogues, vandalised Jewish homes, schools and businesses and killed close to 100 Jews similar to what the Muslims faced recently in New Delhi when violence triggered by protests against a contentious citizenship law left at least 38 people dead and over 200 others injured.
The law is seen by critics as anti-Muslim and part of Modi’s Hindu nationalist agenda.
