In a statement to ANI, Akbar said, “As far as Kashmir issue is concerned, Pakistan mustn’t internationalize it, it is a bilateral issue.” Taking a dig at Pakistan, Akbar added, “It is Pakistan’s individual right if it wants its MPs to go for free tourism.”

Sharif stepped up Pakistan’s diplomatic offensive against India and said he has decided to send the parliamentarians for highlighting the Kashmir issue in different parts of the World.
Pakistan’s move came against the backdrop of escalating war of words between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the unrest in the Kashmir Valley after Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed in an encounter with security forces in July.
Meanwhile, Radio Pakistan reported, “The Prime Minister urged the special envoys to ensure their efforts for highlighting the Kashmir cause across the world so that he can shake the collective conscience of the international community during his address at the UN this September.”
Sharif said the Kashmir problem is the most persistent failure of the UN and that the world body must establish its
relevance. “We will also make it clear to India that it was India that approached the UN several decades back on Kashmir dispute but now it is not fulfilling its promise,” he added.
