Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that under the leadership of Narendra Modi's ruling right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), India's expansionist policies in the region were becoming a threat to neighboring countries.

Tensions between Chinese and Indian troops have recently flared up in the Galvan Valley region of Ladakh. There are reportedly thousands of troops on both sides of the ceasefire line, leading observers to compare 2017 the dispute between India and China in Doklam.

This time, however, the stimulus is reflected in India's own actions in the conflict zone. Former Indian military officials and diplomats told Reuters that the construction of roads in New Delhi and the airstrikes in Ladakh was the most likely reason for Beijing's anger.

The Prime Minister compared the current Indian policies to the Nazi concept of "Libensarum", which includes the policies and procedures of the colonialists.

Elaborating on the threat posed by Indian policies, the Prime Minister said that New Delhi was at risk of border disputes with China and Nepal, tensions over the Citizenship Act with Bangladesh, and false flag operations against Pakistan.

Prime Minister Imran further said that after the illegal annexation of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK), which is a "war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention" and the illegal annexation of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) India took such action after making the claim.

The Prime Minister said in a tweet, 'I have consistently kept up that the Modi government isn't just a danger to fundamentalist minorities by arranging them as peasants yet in addition a danger to territorial harmony.'

All this after illegal annexation of IOJK, a war crime under 4th Geneva Convention, & laying claim to AJK. I have always maintained the fascist Modi Govt is not only a threat to India's minorities by relegating them to 2nd class citizens' status, but also threat to regional peace

Earlier, the prime minister dismissed Indian allegations of infiltration by Pakistan from the Line of Control (LoC) as baseless, saying it was a "continuation of a dangerous agenda".

He also reminded the international community of its responsibility to take action against war crimes and genocide against Kashmiris in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IOK).

The Prime Minister had said that the right-wing Indian government was pursuing its Hindutva supremacy agenda, based on the ideology of the fascist RSS, in the field of epidemics.
