Prime Minister Imran Khan keeps voicing concern over target killing of Muslims in India at the hands of RSS cohorts, who allegedly enjoy the backing of the BJP government.
The prime minister has repeatedly urged the international community to take note of the fascist policies of Modi Government and use their soft power to make Indian authorities protect Muslims and other minorities from the extremist Hindus and their blood-thirsty leaders.
On Thursday, he shared a video of musician Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, who read 'Sab Yaad Rakha Jayega [everything will be kept remembered]' poem by Aamir Aziz, a Delhi poet and activist.
The prime minister shared the video with these remarks:
"When musicians who have all their lives rallied for peace, start taking notice of the massacres in India, it is time the world must stand up and take notice. Stand up on the right side of history."

The Indian government and media initially tried to paint the systematic targeting of Muslims by Hindu mobs as riots between the two communities, but thanks to the internet it soon became clear that RSS goons were behind most of the killing and torching incidents.
The violence against Muslim residents of India's capital city which started on Saturday had claimed at least 35 lives by Thursday, a large majority of them Muslims.
This figure was given by New Delhi police but independent observers said the real toll was much higher.
The violence started as Muslims staging protests against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's discriminatory citizenship law were attacked by organised Hindu mobs, who are said be enjoying the backing of BJP leaders.
Sunil Kumar, director of the Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, said Thursday the hospital registered 30 deaths while the chief doctor at Lok Nayak Hospital said that two people had died there.
"All of them (at the GTB) had gunshot injuries," Kumar told AFP.
Shocking videos of violence against Muslims were emerging on social media.
One such video showed a Muslim family who was surrounded by the Hindu mobsters and facing a helpless situation.
Just feel the panic, helplessness, desperation and nerve wrecking fear of this Muslim family in #Delhigenocide .. Hindu RSS gangs have set fire to their home, trying to break through the door & this family is trapped on roof.... We don't know if they died or lived
