Imran Khan has warned that Kashmir is facing ethnic cleansing as his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi hailed his own decision to strip the Himalayan region of its autonomy. 

Pakistan Prime Minister Khan took to Twitter to urge the international community to stop India from committing a 'massacre' in Kashmir.

He wrote: 'Will [the] world silently witness another Srebrenica-type massacre & ethnic cleansing of Muslims in IOK? (Indian-occupied Kashmir).

'I want to warn international community if it allows this to happen, it will have severe repercussions & reactions in the Muslim world setting off radicalisation & cycles of violence.'
