India to move UN again for Masood Azhar ban

NEW DELHI: Undeterred by China scuttling its previous attempt to get Jaish-e-Mohammed chief and one of the Pathankot attack masterminds Masood Azhar banned by the UN, India today said it will again move the global body with the demand soon.

“We will be moving to 1267 Sanctions Committee to also include the name of Masood Azhar on the sanctions list. It is a great anomaly that the organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed is listed but not its leader,” External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said here.

He also noted that India has already submitted to the UN’s Sanction Committee a fresh list of 11 terrorists from Pakistan -based terror groups affiliated to al Qaeda, Taliban and other outfits responsible for terrorism in the country. (AGENCIES)
