On ties with India, Khan said, “Our only issue is Kashmir and we should solve it like good neighbours on the dialogue table — but unfortunately a tragedy is unfolding in India — RSS has taken over — it’s racist ideology which has taken over India — an ideology that assassinated great Gandhi — it’s very difficult to come to terms with this ideology.”
He said that RSS ideology was driven by racial superiority and hatred towards Muslims, which, he said, is “much more damaging for India then Pakistan.
