very soft speech....he kept Modi his buddy happy.Another hard hitting speech on Kashmir by Nawaz Sharif...I can see why Modi chose to skip it and let's his FM deliver the speech. Not worth his time.
Thanks, you explained it well so there's not much to add. I liked the speech, for years Nawaz was labeled an Indian plant in Pakistan by his critics. But this address of his on Kashmir and the one before it two years ago should be more than enough to silence his critics who question his loyalties. But I know it wont.Everyone in the auditorium appreciated it, including heads of the states and delegates around the world. I don't know how much experience you have at this level, but you don't call out names of countries and their people. Its called a "diplomatic courtesy". So Yadev or anyone else's name wouldn't be called with respect to India. He used the guy from Kashmir in a Kashmiri context as a human rights violation.
Similarly, the Indians won't call people's named. They might use a name of some organization but that is also rare too. There are international protocols you have to follow to address other countries, even if they are your direct enemies.
Baluchistan wasn't put on the back burner. Baluchistan is an active part of Pakistan. Why does he need to mention it when something is already a part of his country? In fact by mentioning him, you'd put Baluchistan as a troubled region, right next to Kashmir. When its brought up again by India....what message you gave to the world? That you accept Baluchistan has issues? Everything is under control in Baluchistan so he did the right thing by not mentioning it at all. All if well, so if others bring it up, you act surprise and be like "whaaaat???".
Well, allow me to surprise you, the international community thought this was one of the best and thorough speeches covering a range of issues. Gen. Raheel called up NS and congratulated him as he nailed all points of concern for Pakistan.
What Baluchistan? Wait, its a Pakistani province. Why does India cares so much about an active Pakistani province with the highest growth potential? This is a response to if India brings up Baluchistan. You mention something that's problematic. By NS mentioning Baluchistan, he is technically agreeing to some issues there. While there are none. So why even bring it up?
If India brings it up, they can. I can blame Micky Mouse for my problems. Baluchistan is the Mickey Mouse to blame the Kashmir issue. The entire world has heard about Kashmir for the past 60 years. None have heard about Baluchistan before this year so think about the smartness of not even mentioning the name. Welcome to international politics, where everything has a reason and strategy behind it
.
Did you know his green tie had a message too? It reflects the color of Pakistani flag and the union of its provinces. Its a common practice among PM and Presidents to wear colors similar to their flags. It means that the speech has two things, 1: the content and points 2: the leader is absolutely sure about his national integrity and state of the union. If a country has some issues or separation in their geographical regions, they traditionally don't wear the tie representing their state of the unions aka, the flag!

India accuses Pakistan of war crimes, calls it a ‘terrorist state’
India accuses Pakistan of war crimes, calls it a ‘terrorist state’
In a strong rebuttal, India said the terrorists designated by the UN continued to roam Pakistan's streets freely and operate with State support
India on Thursday called Pakistan a “terrorist state” and accused it of carrying out “war crimes” against Indians through its “long-standing policy” of sponsoring terrorism, hours after Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif racked up Kashmir issue at the UN General Assembly session. In a strong rebuttal, India said the terrorists designated by the UN continued to roam Pakistan’s streets freely and operate with State support.
Exercising India’s Right of Reply to Sharif’s “long tirade” about the situation in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, First Secretary in the Permanent Mission of India to the UN Eenam Gambhir said “the worst violation of human rights is terrorism.” “When practised as an instrument of state policy it is a war crime. What my country and our other neighbours are facing today is Pakistan’s long-standing policy of sponsoring terrorism, the consequences of which have spread well beyond our region,” she said.
Gambhir said India sees in Pakistan “a terrorist state” which channelises billions of dollars, much of it diverted from international aid, to training, financing and supporting terrorist groups as militant proxies against it neighbours. In a reference to JeM chief Masood Azhar and Mumbai terror attack mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Gambhir said terrorist entities and their leaders, including many designated by the UN, continue to roam the streets of Pakistan freely and operate with State’s support.

“With the approval of authorities, many terrorist organisations raise funds openly in flagrant violation of Pakistan’s international obligations,” she said. She said while Pakistan’s nuclear proliferation record is marked by “deception and deceit,” it talks about restraint, renunciation and peace.
“Similar false promises it has made to us – the international community – on terrorism. Perhaps renunciation of lies and self-restraint on threats could be a good place for Pakistan to start,” Gambhir said. India also strongly slammed Sharif for glorifying Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani, who was killed on July 8 by the Indian forces.
“Even today we have heard support by the Prime Minister of Pakistan for a self-acknowledged commander of a known terrorist organisation,” she said. Gambhir said Pakistan was a democracy deficit country and practises terrorism on its own people.
“It extends support to extremist groups, it suppresses minorities and women and denies basic human rights including through draconian laws,” she added. Gambhir voiced India’s firm resolve to protect all its citizens from all acts of terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
“We cannot and will not allow terrorism to prevail,” she said. Gambhir reminded the UN that the trail of the most “horrifying” and “dastardly terror attack” of 9/11 led all the way to Abbottabad in Pakistan, where Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden had been hiding for years and was killed by US forces.
She also noted that the land of Taxila, one of the greatest learning centres of ancient times, “is now host to the Ivy League of terrorism” and attracts aspirants and apprentices from all over the world. “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.
She also told the UN General Assembly that shortly before Pakistan gave its “hypocritical sermons” in the world body, its envoy in New Delhi was summoned in the context of the most recent of the terror attacks in Uri that claimed 18 Indian lives. “That terrorist attack is part of a trail of continuous flow of terrorists trained and armed by our neighbour and tasked to carry out terrorist attacks in my country,” she said.
Sharif raised the Kashmir issue with almost every world leader – including those from the US, the UK, Japan and Turkey – on Wednesday. He sought their intervention to resolve the matter
