Pakistan is all set to prominently raise the issue of alleged human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir as Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) President Masood Khan arrived in New York for the UN General Assembly (UNGA) session.
While Sharif is to address the UNGA, focusing on Kashmir, Khan is to address a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) Contact Group on Kashmir being held at the UN headquarters today.
Nawaz Sharif is likely to devote a large part of his address to the UN General Assembly for "exposing Indian human rights abuses in occupied Kashmir", said the Dawn newspaper.
He will also urge the world body to intervene to enforce UN resolutions for a plebiscite in Kashmir.
