PM to “forcefully” highlight Kashmir issue at UNGA session: FO

ISLAMABAD, (APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif
will “forcefully” present Pakistan’s stance on the state-terrorism
in Indian-held Kashmir at the upcoming session of UN General
Assembly in New York next month, the Foreign Office said Thursday.
“The Prime Minister is going to take this issue very
forcefully at the UN platform,” Spokesman Nafees Zakaria said in a
weekly press briefing, here at Foreign Office.
The Spokesman said Pakistan always raised the issue of Jammu
and Kashmir at the annual UNGA session and mentioned Nawaz Sharif’s
speech during last year’s session “where he strongly highlighted the
internationally recognized dispute”.
He said most of the UN Security Council members had already
been taken onboard on the continued violation of human rights in
Indian-held Kashmir.
Whether more dossiers would be presented to the UN about
Indian involvement in subversive activities in Pakistan, the
Spokesman said investigations were in process following the arrest
of Indian spy Kalbhushan Yadav.
“At appropriate time, we will further take action in this
regard,” he said.
