He performed Umrah and also visited the Masjid-e-Nabwi (PBUH) in Madinah Munawarah.
Before leaving KSA, the President addressed a press conference in Jeddah on the last leg of his four-day tour to Saudi Arabia in which he exposed the Indian government’s belligerence and hegemonic designs in the region.
Referring to India’s settler colonialism policies, the president said that the BJP government had fake domiciles to 4.2 million non-state Hindus in Occupied Kashmir since the day it stripped the region of its semi autonomous status by revoking article 370 and 35 A of the Indian constitution.
He said that settling 4,000 Indian investors and granting them land in Kashmir under the guise of investment, was part of a conspiracy to change demographic complexion of the Occupied Kashmir.
He urged the Kashmiri community settled in Saudi Arabia to rise above their party affiliations to galvanize support for the Kashmir cause in the middle eastern countries. He also urged the international community to shun its policy of indifference towards Kashmir and play its much-needed role to resolve the long-drawn Kashmir conflict, which he said was the main cause and consequence of tension and violence in the region.
