Hali, who hosts a defense program on state television, criticized Mr. Sharif for failing to reiterate traditional Pakistani demands over issues such as Kashmir and alleged Indian support for the insurgency in Pakistan's restive Baluchistan province.
"Sharif had a discourse on every subject concerning India without having any regard to stated national policies and, in his exuberance toward portraying himself as a peacenik, forgot to mention about state terrorism sponsored by India against Pakistan, " Mr. Hali wrote.
