‘Indian troops unleashed reign of terror in occupied Kashmir’: PM Sharif at UNGA

NEW YORK: Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz said that Indian troops unleashed a reign of terror in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, reaffirming Pakistan’s commitment to the right to self-determination of the valley’s people.

Addressing the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), PM Shehbaz said that the Kashmir dispute remains a pressing concern on the Security Council’s agenda, with Pakistan advocating for a resolution based on UN resolutions and the will of the Kashmiri people.

“It is an honour for me to address the United Nations General Assembly for the second time as the prime minister of the country that has always been the proactive member of the UN Assembly,” PM Shehbaz said while starting the speech.

He said Pakistan’s founder Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah declared that the country stands by the UN resolutions and has stood by this commitment unwaveringly.

“Today, we are facing [the] most daunting challenges to the world order. Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza, a dangerous conflict in Ukraine, destructive conflicts across Africa and Asia, rising geo-political tensions resurging terrorism, galloping poverty, stifling debt and a mounting impact of climate change,” he said.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also demanded an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, terming it a ‘systematic slaughter’ and ‘bloodshed’ by the Israeli military.
