In his Pakistan Independence Day speech on August 14, Pakistan PM Imran Khan once again tried to interfere in the internal matters of India, this time by echoing the words of former Congress president Rahul Gandhi. Speaking in Muzaffarabad, Imran Khan appeared to focus less on Pakistan and more on India. He targeted the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) and said it espoused 'Nazi ideology', keeping up his government's sole agenda of diverting attention away from all his country's problems to the goings-on in Kashmir.
