President Genocide Watch Dr Gregory Stanton has warned that genocide may well happen in India, unless the international community plays its part in confronting ‘Hindutva‘ideology in India.

This was stated by Foreign Office Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmad in response to media questions regarding recent warning of genocide of Muslims by Mr. Gregory Stanton.

It is pertinent to mention that Dr Stanton has made these remarks during a US Congressional briefing titled 'Call For Genocide of Indian Muslims', organised by the Indian American Muslim Council.

Dr Stanton’s warning is based on data assessed on a scientific model of 10 stages of Genocide.

According to this Model, India has crossed all 10 stages, raising serious alarm for the safety of more than 200 million Muslims in India.

It may be recalled that Pakistan has been warning of grave consequences for minorities, especially Muslims, due to the extremist ‘Hindutva’ ideology being propagated by the RSS-BJP regime with impunity in India.

According to Dr Stanton the genocide process of Muslims in India has been catalysed by Islamophobic anti-Muslim rhetoric of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s illegal actions of 5th August in Jammu and Kashmir for Hindu dominance there, and controversial Citizenship Amendment Act specifically aimed against Muslims.
