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.

It’s dangerous because, whenever the siege lifted, I fear bloodshed. When there is bloodshed, there will be repercussions which will go further outside Kashmir. It will raise tension b/w Pakistan and India as happened last February.
