Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has raised the Kashmir issue with nearly every world leader he has held talks with on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session, but his efforts to internationalise the dispute with India appeared to have gained no traction.

“PM Nawaz Sharif also apprised his Japanese counterpart of the human rights violations being committed by Indian occupation forces in Kashmir”, Lodhi said in another tweet.
In a strong rebuttal, India said the terrorists designated by the United Nations continued to roam Pakistan’s streets freely and operate with State support.
Countering Sharif’s claims that India posed unacceptable conditions to dialogue, Swarup said India’s only condition was to end terrorism.
“We are open to discussing all measures of restraint and responsibility with India, in any forum or format and without any conditions”, Sharif said.
Causing another major embarrassment for Pakistan, the US Secretary of State John Kerry has asked the alleged sponsors of the Uri terror attack to take action against the perpetrators and snubbed its rant for Kashmir, giving India the much needed support for isolating Pakistan internationally.
” Peace and normalization between Pakistan and India can not be achieved without a resolution of the Kashmir dispute”. Shows continued Pak attachment to terrorism.
“The effect of its toxic curriculum are felt across the globe”, she said, adding that it is ironical that a country which has established itself as the global epicentre of terrorism, is preaching human rights and talks about the ostensible support for self-determination.
More than 80 people have been killed in the protests.
In the wake of the attack, Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh called for isolation of Pakistan from the worldwide community as a state supporting terrorist groups avoiding direct allegations of Pakistani involvement in the Sunday attack.
Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar told Pakistan High Commissione Basit that the items recovered from the terrorists – communication and navigation equipment, food, medicines and clothes – all bore markings that they were made in Pakistan.
Akbar, addressing a press conference moments after Nawaz’s speech at India’s permanent mission, remarked it was very unusual that Pakistan had termed the “terrorist” a “hero”.
She also referred to the latest attacks on the Uri army base, at India-administered Kashmir’s border with Pakistan.
Eenam Gambhir, India’s envoy to the United Nations, responded critically to Sharif’s speech: “It is ironical.that we have seen today the preaching of human rights and ostensible support for self-determination by a country which has established itself as the global epicenter for terrorism”.

Indian Minister also blamed Pakistan for Uri Sector incident, meanwhile Pakistan denied this allegation. “We can not and will not allow terrorism to prevail”.
