ISLAMABAD: Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has said there could be a better chance of peace talks with India if Prime Minister Narendra Modi wins the 2019 election, Indian media reported.
PM Khan said if Congress forms the next Indian government, chances of peace talks would be slim since Congress might be ‘too scared’ to seek a settlement with Pakistan over Kashmir.
If the BJP wins, a kind of settlement in Kashmir could be reached, according to PM Imran Khan, the reports said.
He, however, said Indian Muslims, who had been happy about their situation in India, were now worried by extreme Hindu nationalism.
Khan also stated that Modi, like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was electioneering based on the “fear and nationalist feeling”. (Agencies)
