Reacting strongly to Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's speech at the United Nations General Assembly, author Chetan Bhagat hit out on Thursday at Pakistan calling it 'Terroristan'.
In a series of tweets, Bhagat said that India and the entire world should refer to Pakistan by its new name 'Terroristan'.
I am so sorry but why do we take Pak PM and his views at all? In #Terroristan he has no power. https://t.co/jyack0T0lN

I think India and even the world should address Pak by its new name: Terroristan #Terroristan

We keep renaming our cities and roads. Why don't we at least rename Pak to #Terroristan ?

He further demanded that Article 370 be removed from Kashmir.
Seeing Kashmir politicians wary of criticising Pak. How is Indian army supposed to guard us then? This Article370 must go. #indiacomesfirst

Why attack anyone outside when our own Kashmir politicians (protected by Indian security) are openly sympathetic to Pak. #indiacomesfirst.

In his speech at the UNGA on Wednesday, Sharif glorified Hizbul Nujahideen commander Burhan Wani by calling him a 'young leader'.
"Burhan Wani, the young leader murdered by Indian forces, has emerged as the symbol of the latest Kashmiri Intifada," said Sharif.
Sharif, who earlier declared Wani a 'martyr' post his death even as India branded him a terrorist, said Islamabad fully supports the demand of the Kashmiri people for self-determination as promised to them by several Security Council resolutions and urged the United Nations to intervene and assist in solving the Kashmir dispute.
