NEW DELHI: Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday sought to glorify slain Hizbul terrorist Burhan Wani at the UN General Assembly, while raking up the Kashmir issue. Sharif devoted much of his 20-minute speech to Kashmir and the current situation in the Valley and said Pakistan “fully supports the demand of the Kashmiri people for self-determination”.
In response to Sharif’s remarks, MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup later tweeted, “Pak PM Sharif at #UNGA in complete denial of Uri terror attack. 19 infiltration attempts stopped at LoC this year. Indigenous??!!”
