ISLAMABAD: Earlier, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has addressed at the United Nations General Assembly, where he warned the world community that that the illegal occupation of Palestine and Kashmir was creating a “fresh hell” every day and stressed the efforts for dispute resolution besides addressing the global challenges of terrorism, climate change and Islamophobia.

Reports claimed that speech has garnered more than 140,000 views since it was uploaded on September 28.

In comparison, Biden’s address has 103,000 views since it was uploaded on September 22. Chinese foreign minister’s speech, which was uploaded a day earlier, managed to garner only 84,000 views so far.

The UNGA speech of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan received only 51,000 views since it was uploaded on September 25.

Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hussain stands third with over 158,000 views on the video.

Journalist Imran Riaz has dismissed the news of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif getting more views on YouTube at UNGA as false.

 

It must be mentioned here that former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s video received over 7.2 million views becoming the most-viewed UNGA video ever in the event’s history.
