Pakistan's Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan yesterday (1 July) said that the Islamic Republic has accepted the "Chinese version" of the treatment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang province because of its "extreme proximity and relationship" with Beijing, reports Indian Express.
Speaking to Chinese journalists, PM Khan said that China's version of the Uyghur issue was completely different from what was being reported in Western media. He said, "Because of our extreme proximity and relationship with China, we actually accept the Chinese version."
He said, "The CPC has introduced an alternative model and they have beaten all Western democracies in the way they have highlighted merit in society."
This comes even as the United States (US), European Union(EU) and many other nations have accused the Chinese establishment of committing genocide against the Uyghurs in resource-rich Xinjiang, and have also called for an international probe by human rights groups.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
