PM Imran to address 74th UNGA session today

PM Imran to address UNGA session after Modi

Prime Minister Imran Khan will address his first United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session on Friday as Islamabad continues its efforts to bring the Kashmir issue under global spotlight.

The premier's address to the 74th session will follow Narendra Modi's address to the general assembly.

Prime Minister Imran, who pegged the UNGA trip as ‘Mission Kashmir, is expected to highlight the human rights situations in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) in his speech.

He is also likely to shed light on Indian attempts to carry out a false flag operation and using that as a pretext for further misadventure.

Since August 5, when the Narendra Modi's right-wing government revoked IOK's autonomy, India has flooded the occupied territory with troops, imposed severe restrictions on movements, and cut all telephone, mobile phone and internet connections.

Thousands of people have been detained while political leaders placed under house arrest.

On the diplomatic front, the premier met several leaders.

In his meeting with US President Donald Trump, PM Imran pushed the US government to urge India to lift curfew in IOK. The premier was asked by Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman to mediate talks with Iran.

To further the cause, PM Imran joined hands with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Malaysian Premier Mahatir Mohammad to launch an English language channel dedicated to “confronting the challenges posed by Islamophobia”.

The decision was announced following a trilateral meeting between Pakistan, Turkey, and Malaysia in New York.
