Pak Prime Minister Imran Khan Niazi Once Again Ignores China’s Genocide of Uighur Muslims, Says He Believes Beijing’s Version

Imran Khan Niazi has repeatedly denied any knowledge about any atrocity against Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang. He has accused western media of biased reporting.

Despite the overwhelming evidence of China’s genocide of Uighurs in Xinjiang, Pakistan has said it believes in Beijing’s version regarding the treatment of minorities in the region.

Imran Khan Niazi, who projects himself as the champion of Islam or a crusader against Islamophobia, has turned a blind eye to the Chinese atrocities against Muslim minorities because of Islamabad’s “extreme proximity and relationship with Beijing.”

Xinjiang is a province in Communist China where about two million Uighurs and other Muslim minorities have been detained since 2016. They are believed to have been placed in detention centers across Xinjiang.

Many former detainees allege they were subjected to attempted indoctrination, physical abuse, and even sterilization. However, China regularly denies such mistreatment and says the camps provide vocational training.

“Because of our extreme proximity and relationship with China, we actually accept the Chinese version,” Dawn quoted Imran Khan as saying.

Imran Khan’s selective outrage against Islamophobia has received a lot of criticism.

When it comes to China’s treatment of Muslims, Imran Khan Niazi has remained mum since he assumed the office as prime minister of Pakistan.

Recently, in an interview with HBO Axios, when he was asked about his outspokenness about Islamophobia in Europe and the US but total silence on the genocide of Muslims in Western China, he replied, “This is not the case, according to them (Chinese authorities).”

China has been globally rebuked for cracking down on Uighur Muslims by sending them to mass detention camps to undergo some form of forcible “re-education or indoctrination”.

Over the past four months, the Canadian, Dutch, British, Lithuanian, and Czech parliaments adopted motions recognizing the Uighur crisis as genocide.
