Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is somewhat desperate as he opened up the talk on Kashmir as he felt isolated in the UN Assembly. Raking up Kashmir issue at the UN, Sharif glorified slain Hizbul commander Burhan Wani as a young leader and exposed his stand on terrorist sponsored attack on India. He even expressed readiness for a serious and sustained dialogue with India for peaceful resolution of all outstanding disputes, especially Jammu and Kashmir. This is after initial burst of anger shown against India. Insisting that peace and normalisation between Pakistan and India cannot be achieved without a resolution of the Kashmir dispute, and he would like evidence of violations of human rights. However, the Pakistan Prime Minister was totally exposed as he opened up his mind about Pakistan sponsored terrorism inside Indian territory. By putting self-goal against his own country, Sharif is caught red handed and he is not only answerable to the world but also to his own country men.
