Uthe kukwixesha lakhe apho urhulumente wavuma ukukhupha iphepha-mvume lokuhlala iintsuku ezingama-30 kubakhenkethi bamazwe aliqela emva kokuba befikile ezibuko.

UKhan uthe urhulumente uxhomekeke kakhulu kukhenketho kunye nolonwabo. “Kulo nyaka urhulumente wenze kakuhle ngokukhuthaza ukhenketho lwezenkolo kwaye uvumele inani elikhulu labakhenkethi beSikh,” utshilo. "Ngoku urhulumente kufuneka agxile ekutsaleni abakhenkethi abangamaBhuda abavela eTshayina, eMzantsi Korea naseJapan."

UKhan uthe urhulumente ubhengeze imisitho “mininzi kakhulu” ngo-2007. “Akunakwenzeka ukulungiselela yonke imisitho. Vuselela umboniso wamaHashe neenkomo, uwenze wehlabathi ngokumema amafama aphuma kumazwe angabamelwane, aqhoboshele lo mnyhadala noMnyhadala waseNtwasahlobo emva koko uthengise lo mbhiyozo kwihlabathi liphela,” utshilo. "Yazisa ihlabathi ukuba ngokwenene uza kwenza umnyhadala." Uthe uphuhliso lwabasebenzi yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yemigaqo-nkqubo yezokhenketho, urhulumente angazange ayithathele ngqalelo.

“Umba omtsha kukusingqongileyo. Ukuba umhlaba wakho ubuzaliswe ngumsi nothuli, akukho mntu unokundwendwela ilizwe,” wongeze watsho.

Ukhenketho nobunqolobi: Wonke umntu wagxininisa ukuba akukho mfuneko yokudimazeka ngenxa yobugrogrisi. UBakhtiar wathi, “Liyintoni ityala lemilambo yethu, iintaba neentyatyambo zethu ezidubulayo, ukuba sinengxaki yobunqolobi? ILebanon neSri Lanka azikakutyesheli ukutsala abakhenkethi, kutheni thina sifanele sizilahle?” UKhan uthe, "Akukho lizwe lingenabo ubunqolobi, ngoko ke iinzame zokunyusa ukhenketho kufuneka ziqhubeke."
