PESHAWAR: Chairman
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Imran Khan has strongly condemned reported
atrocities committed against the Rohingya Muslim community in Myanmar.
In
a statement issued in response to local and international media reports
suggesting widespread killings of Muslims, he said that persecution of a
particular community in such manner is blatant violation of fundamental
humanitarian principles. Burmese government’s silence on mass killings
of Rohingya Muslims is disturbing.
Imran
Khan urged the Pakistani government to mobilise diplomatic efforts on
an urgent basis to stop the potential genocide of Rohingya Muslims in
Myanmar.
He also urged local and international human rights organisations to fight against the potential genocide of the community.
Khan warned that continued persecution of the community in Myanmar will fuel communal hatred both locally and internationally.
He
urged the international community to pressurise the Burmese government
to take urgent measures for ending the massacre of Rohingya Muslims in
Myanmar.
