CNNMuzaffarabad, Pakistani-controlled Kashmir CNN — Pakistan is prepared to “fight to the end” over Kashmir if necessary, Prime Minister Imran Khan said Wednesday during a speech from the Pakistani-controlled part of the disputed region. He also called New Delhi’s move to strip Indian-controlled Kashmir of its autonomy a “strategic blunder” by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Pakistan’s government announced on Wednesday that it would observe India’s independence day as a “black day,” with flags on government buildings flying at half mast, according to Reuters. “I am with my Kashmiri brothers at a time when they are facing their biggest crisis,” he said, adding that he wanted to become “Kashmir’s ambassador to the world.” Khan also reiterated his claim that the Hindu nationalist ideology of the Indian government – run by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party – was inspired by Nazi ideology.
