• Rules out taking sides in rivalry between great powers
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday said as Pakistan had relations based on trust with China, it would accept the Chinese version on Uighurs in Xinjiang.
In reply to a question about western media reports on Xinjiang during an interview with Chinese media at the PM House, he said western press hardly reported massive human rights violations in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir where nine million people had been put into an open prison.
The prime minister said that IIOJK had been turned into a police state with extrajudicial killings, imprisonments and ban on media, yet there was hardly any adverse comment in (western) media. “This is what Pakistan finds very hypocritical.”
