UNITED NATIONS: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif left New York on Friday after five days of extensive lobbying for Kashmir at the United Nations and in bilateral meetings with world leaders. According to an official of the prime minister’s media team, he will arrive home on Monday morning after spending the weekend in London, where one of his two sons resides on a permanent basis and has business interests. Mr Sharif’s meetings in New York did highlight the Kashmir cause, but not as much as they would have, had there had been no Sept 18 attack on an Indian army base in Uri which apparently was carried out by elements within the India-held region.
