China’s blocking of terror tag for Azhar won’t affect resolve to fight terror: India

NEW DELHI: India said today that China’s continuous blocking of Pakistan-based JeM chief Masood Azhar’s designation as a global terrorist by the UN will not deter it from fighting terrorism.

“I think the decision by a country to block a consensus should not be seen as an end to our counter-terrorism efforts. What is important is that it does not, in any way, take away our resolve to fight terrorism,” Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said.

During a media briefing, he said India will continue to work with like-minded countries to fight terrorism.

“It will not impact our resolve to fight terror,” he said, referring to China’s decision. (AGENCIES)
