Nawaz Sharif shows no remorse over Uri attacks, stays defiant

New Delhi: Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif seems defiant over the Uri attacks, which killed 18 Indian Jawans and injured 19 others. Sharif, who was in United States to attend the 71th Session of United Nations General Assembly, was questioned about the deadly attack on Army headquarters in Kashmir; to which he showed no remorse, and in fact ignored the question, and walked away. Sharif on Monday called on the permanent members of the UN Security Council, demanding that India should be forced to stop its alleged brutalities in Kashmir. He has said he will highlight the Kashmir issue in his address at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday. This comes after the shameful attack by Pakistan on the army headquarters in Kashmir. Heavily-armed militants stormed a battalion headquarters of the Indian Army in North Kashmir's Uri town in the wee hours on Sunday.  All four terrorists were later neutralised. It was the worst attack on the Indian Army in many years. India's DGMO Lt Gen Ranbir Singh has said all the four killed militants were foreign terrorists and had carried with them items which had Pakistani markings and that initial reports indicated that they belonged to Pakistan-based Jaish-E-Mohammed terrorist group.
