He further stated that the uprising has been met with Indian brutality against the Kashmiris and promised to share a Dossier with the Secretary General UN proving the brutality and oppression of Indian forces in Kashmir.
Pakistan supports Kashmiri demand of self-determination and regards their struggle for freedom as legitimate one, said the Pakistani premiere. Pakistan is not engaged in arms race with India but cannot ignore our neighbour’s unprecedented arms build-up and needs to build sufficient deterrence.
In the comprehensive speech, he also stated Palestine issue should be resolved. Talking about Afghan refugees in Pakistan, he said that there should be a return of refugees and international community should aid that. Addressing the issue of terror, the premiere said that terrorism is a global phenomenon. He also said stated about the national resolve for peace and said Pakistan as nation is working together against Terrorism under the National Action Plan.
His Kashmir discussion comes after India has crossed all limits of brutality in Kashmir and India has killed and blinded hundreds of Kashmiri youth including women; not even kids have been spared by the Indian aggression.

Nawaz Sharif mentions the word ‘Indian occupation of Kashmir’ more than 5 times at #UNGA

The Indians, obviously, hated it
Why are indian TV channels giving free publicity to Nawaz Sharif’s anti India rant and phoney offer of “peace dialogue” at UN?

China has already said that it supports Pakistan in its Kashmir stance and this welcome speech by the PM will surely raise international eyes towards brutality in occupied Kashmir.
