Washington: Social media voices have backed India after Pakistan's Prime Minister raised the Kashmir issue at the UN General Assembly even as a former top Pakistani diplomat tweeted that Nawaz Sharif's speech 'plays well at home' but is "not taken seriously by the rest of the world".

Reacting to Sharif's speech, India had hit back asking Pakistan to vacate Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and charged that Islamabad is the prime sponsor of terrorism.
