Pakistan, India set to clash on Kashmir at UNISLAMABAD/MUZAFFARABAD, Dawn/Asia News Network--With Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif assuring leaders of Azad Kashmir on Friday that he will aggressively raise the Kashmir dispute at the U.N., as Pakistan and India are set to clash over the situation in the India-held region at the 71st session of the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA). Prime Minister Sharif will leave for New York on Saturday to participate in the UNGA meeting. Anticipating a strong statement from Pakistan on Kashmir, Indian media said "a befitting reply" was being prepared by the Indian government for the session. Whenever Pakistan has raised the Kashmir issue, India has responded by accusing the former of sponsoring terrorism in its land and the neighborhood and by raising the Balochistan issue. There will also be a meeting of the OIC Contact Group on Jammu and Kashmir on the sidelines of the UNGA meeting.
