PM Imran urges world to act over India's designs to implement Hindutva ideology.

Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday urged the international community to intervene and stop India, which by following the racist and supremacist ideology of "Hindutva" had, what he feared, taken the road of self-destruction.

"What we saw in New Delhi last night is just the beginning," he said during a ceremony held to commemorate the first anniversary of Pakistan's responsible and resolute response to Indian aggression of February 26 last year.

The prime minister said in that scenario, he had strong confidence in Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, air and naval chiefs, and in the professionalism and capability of the armed forces.

The Pakistan armed forces had been the battle hardened as they had fought the world's toughest fight against terrorism, he added.

Imran Khan also appreciated the local media for showing a mature approach to the crises, which was in sharp contrast to the behaviour of Indian media whipping a war hysteria.

The whole political leadership of the country despite their differences was on the same page, he added.

Dilating upon the recent situation in the neighbouring country, the prime minister said India had put itself in the precarious condition by implementing the fascist, racist and totalitarianism ideology under the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) driven government, which also put the regional peace into peril.
