Imran Khan sends Shehryar Khan Afridi to UNGA to rake up Kashmir; he vlogs in Times Square, Twitter laughs

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's move to send Shehryar Khan Afridi to rake up the Kashmir issue at the UN General Assembly backfired after the parliamentary committee chairman on Kashmir started vlogging from Times Square while slamming American culture.

In the video posted on social media, Shehryar Khan Afridi said: "Look at the condition of women in the country which lectures others on human rights."

A Federal Minister who's supposed to speak for HR and highlight human rights violations is making a video of homeless people without their consent.

Despite secondary screening at arrival, I'm doubtful his honorable return. Someone from the NY Consulate should interfere.

Pakistan PM Imran Khan would be addressing the UNGA today and his key focus will be Jammu & Kashmir. The Pakistan PM has often used international forums to raise the issue. This time the Pakistan prime minister will also be speaking on the situation in Afghanistan.

Pakistan has been accused of supporting the Taliban even as Secretary of State Antony Blinken told US lawmakers recently that the Biden administration would be reassessing its relationship with Pakistan.
