The statement from the Army chief came at a very crucial time when tensions are soaring between India and Pakistan. The rift at the 71st United Nations General Assembly held at New York over the ever-sensitive Kashmir issue has caught all the media attention.

PM Nawaz Sharif at the UN address stated that Pakistan desires peace with India but peace cannot be maintained until the Kashmir issue is resolved.

Nawaz urged the UN to implement UN Security Council resolutions and demilitarize Kashmir. India then used the Right of Reply and put serious blames on Pakistan- India even called Pakistan a ‘terrorist state’.
