Slamming Nawaz Sharif for accusing India of committing atrocities on Pakistan soil in his United Nations address, Lieutenant General P N Hoon (Retired) on Sunday said that the Prime Minister's words held no value since his actions were being dictated by Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed.
"Whatever issues Pakistan raised at the UN, be it that we are carrying killings on their soil and how they do not want India to get the seat at the UN Security Council, does not matter because as far as Nawaz Sharif is concerned, he is over," Hoon told ANI here.
Further training his guns of Sharif, the retired General said that Sharif has absolutely no idea what he is doing as he is being controlled by 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed.
"Hafiz Saeed has a big army over 10,000 people and they are training them to become ISIS and to come into our land. Whenever something happens in their territory they wash their hands off any blame and say it is the Indian Government that is doing all this," Hoon said.
He also added that the time has come for Sharif and Pakistan to learn a lesson for needling Inida, to which they will receive a befitting reply soon.
Sharif had earlier attacked India from the UN rostrum for "fomenting instability" in his country and what he called the "occupation" of Kashmir, praised China for being "a model of south-south cooperation", and proposed a "four-point plan" toward peace.
India responded to Sharif's "four-point peace initiative" with a proposal of its own: give up terrorism.
"We do not need a four-point proposal. We need just one: give up terrorism and let us sit down and talk. This will resolve all the problems," External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
