Islamabad, Aug 15 (IBNS): Escalating his attack against India, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has warned the international community of "severe repercussions" in the Muslim world if the Narendra Modi government resorts to ethnic cleansing in the "Indian-occupied Kashmir".
In a tweet on India's 73rd Independence Day, Khan tweeted, "In IOK, 12 days of curfew, presence of extra troops in an already heavily militarized occupied territory, sending in of RSS goons, complete communication blackout; with the example of Modi's earlier ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Gujarat."

The relation between the two countries have worsened in recent times after India withdrew the special status of Jammu and Kashmir by abrogating Articles 370 and 35A.
As a reaction to the Modi government's step, Pakistan has already downgraded trade ties with India. However, India has urged its neighbour to reconsider its decision accusing Pakistan of trying to portray an "alarmist" picture of the trade ties between the two nations.
Not only to Pakistan, India has also clarified to China that Kashmir is an internal matter of the country.
