Nawaz Sharif may have implicated Pakistan as terrorist state with praise for militant from UN pulpit

Pakistan's decision to celebrate a self-confessed Kashmiri militant from the United Nations pulpit+ may comeback to haunt Islamabad. A US lawmaker+ who has proposed legislation seeking determination on Pakistan's sponsorship of terrorism+ takes a dim view of it and could use it as evidence to press his case.

"Disappointed to see the Pakistan+ PM use the @UN to praise a militant group that uses violence to promote its cause," Texas Representative Ted Poe, who also chairs the House subcommittee on terrorism and Homeland Security, tweeted on Wednesday.
