Brilliant speech by our PM @ImranKhanPTI that covered an extensive content emphasising four points.

1. Climate change.
2. Eliminating money laundering & tax heavens.
3. Islamophobia & blasphemy of Prophet (PBUH).
4. Freedom for Kashmir.@AsiaSociety @UN #UNGA2019 pic.twitter.com/qNj7aX5oym

reasons; the most pertinent being the welfare of #kashmiri people and the most terrifying being the danger of open hostility among two nuclear powers.
I also especially liked the part of Islam being blamed for Radicalisation which in fact made it sound like Islam is in some way

“Will the world community appease a market of 1.2bn or stand for justice and humanity?”
I’m a proud Pakistani today, whose leader raised such concerns so fearlessly on a global platform. #PakistanZindabad ??

PM @ImranKhanPTI just clean bowled the lies of @narendramodi and hit all his doubters/haters for a SIX. His closing sentences were the roar of a lion. His message is clear we want PEACE but if u impose WAR then you will find a worthy opponent that will rattle your foundations.
