United Nation’s Sanctions Committee declares Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist.
Earlier, China said on Tuesday that the vexed issue of designating Azhar as a global terrorist by the UN will be properly resolved.
China had put a hold in March on a fresh proposal by the US, UK and France to impose a ban on the chief of the JeM which claimed responsibility for the deadly Pulwama terror attack.
The proposal was the fourth such bid at the UN in the last 10 years to list Azhar as a global terrorist and India had moved the proposal several times. However, on all occasions, China, a veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council, blocked India’s proposal from being adopted by the Sanctions Committee.
