'Wider policy' to target Muslims: Imran

Islamabad: Soon after the final list of the updated National Register of Citizens was out on Saturday, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan attacked the Modi government, linking the NRC as part of a wider policy to target Muslims.

Khan, who has ratcheted up the rhetoric against India in the last few weeks over the government's decision to end special status for Jammu and Kashmir, said the ethnic cleansing of Muslims by India should send alarm bells ringing across the world.

"Reports in Indian and international media on Modi Govt's ethnic cleansing of Muslims should send alarm bells ringing across the world that the illegal annexation of Kashmir is part of a wider policy to target Muslims," Khan tweeted tagging a report on the NRC final list.
