He continued that when American President Donald Trump tried to mediate the dispute between the two countries and the afflicted people of Kashmir, India moved in and illegally annexed Kashmir.
This time around, Trump’s visit sparked a massive wave of racially motivated attacks on the minorities in the Indian capital of Delhi, said Haider.
He said that these are very troubling and testing time for Muslims across the globe and America’s role on both occasions had remained unfortunate, to say the least.

Haider went on to claim that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence on whatever is happening in India is his agreement and support to the transgressions being carried out, Gujrat riots and Modi’s role in them should not be ignored.
In conclusion, the former member European parliament said that the real catalysts of taking things to things to this bloody extremes are the international powers who have thus far refused to play their roles to the best of their abilities.
