Dolkun Isa said that Pakistan is one of biggest violators of human rights as it is helping China in hiding it.

Yet country claims that Uyghur detention camps were actually vocational training centres. Dolkun calls statement a "lie".

"Pakistan is one of biggest violators of human rights and China is hiding reality internationally. Speaking on China's statement on detention camps he said, It is just a lie from Chinese side. y are trying to hide things and are committing crimes against humanity.

Imran more interested in Kashmiris than Uyghurs

China has been condemned internationally for oppressing Muslim mirities. For same reason Imran Khan has come under heavy criticism for his "double standards" for supporting China. Dolkun too has accused him of t paying attention to Uyghurs and called it a shame. Yet he is desperately attempting to portray himself as an ambassor of Kashmiri people. 

"Pakistan Prime Minister brings up Kashmir issue all time but when it comes to Uyghurs he closes his eyes and supports China's policy. This is a double standard. It is a shame," he said.

During an interview with a news channel, Imran Khan talked at length about his version of conditions of Kashmiris. He said that  BJP led government is "racist" and "fascist". When journalist Mohammed Jamjoom asked cricketer-turned-politician wher he h ever got a chance to discuss issue of Uighur Muslims with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Khan replied that he does t kw "much" about problem. He ded that Beijing is Islamab's "best friend".

", I have t. We have been facing so many of our internal problems right w that I do t kw much about this problem. Let's face it, ever since we came to power, apart from ecomy and apart from dealing with situation in Kashmir, we have been inundated with problems. I will say one thing about China. For Pakistan, China has been best friend," Imran Khan said.
