Modi meets UN chief, refers to Sharif’s remarks on Kashmir

Official sources said Modi referred to Sharif’s remarks on Kashmir in the meeting with the UN Secretary- General and implied that the UN was not the appropriate forum to raise it as it was a bilateral matter.

On Friday in his address, Sharif had needled India and said that more than six decades ago, the UN had passed resolutions to hold a plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir.

“The people of Jammu and Kashmir are still waiting for the fulfillment of that promise,” he had said.
