Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif Declines to Answer Questions on Hafiz Saeed at UNGA
During the 81st United Nations General Assembly, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declined to answer questions about Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed and allegations of Pakistan harbouring terrorists. Reporters asked Sharif when he would prosecute Saeed, who is designated a terrorist by India and linked to the 26/11 Mumbai attack and the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack. India also criticized Pakistan at the UN for focusing on terrorism rather than addressing its economic challenges and humanitarian issues in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
