Maulana Masood Azhar's Jaish-e-Mohammed is accused of the deadly terror attack on Pathankot air base

NEW DELHI:
HIGHLIGHTS

1. India wants Masood Azhar on UN blacklist for terrorists
2. Earlier, China had used 'technical hold' to prevent this
3. Now, in big snub to Delhi, it has outright blocked India's move

China has stopped India from accomplishing a crucial goal at the United Nations: getting Masood Azhar, the chief of terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed, blacklisted as a terrorist. The Foreign Ministry reacted sharply, stating "(the) Chinese action confirms the prevalence of double standards in the fight against terrorism."

In April, China placed on hold India's request to add Azhar to the United Nations' al Qaeda-Islamic State blacklist. In October, it extended the "technical hold" which was to expire tomorrow. What it has done today is exercise its veto, so Beijing's objections are no longer temporary or subject to a search for more details of India's request.

The Jaish-e-Mohammed has already been blacklisted by the 15-nation Security Council, but not its leader, Maulana Masood Azhar. China's blocking of India's move is an international and significant show of support for its long-time ally Pakistan.

India has accused the Jaish-e-Mohammed of the deadly terror attack in January on the Pathankot air force base in which seven military personnel were killed.


Technical holds can be lifted and often arise when a Security Council member wants more information. But sometimes they lead to a permanent blocking of a proposed blacklisting.

Pakistani security officials have said that a special investigation team set up to probe the Pathankot attack found no evidence implicating Azhar.

If the 48-year-old was blacklisted by the UN Security Council, he would face a global travel ban and asset freeze.

Beijing's stand on Azhar has been an acute stress point on India-China relations this year.

Wouldn't make lot of difference to India. Masood Azhar and Hafeez saeed are just convenient alibi for India to keep India - Pak tensions high. India knows that in case of tension Pakistan has mot more to loose.

Actions speak louder than words.

India has been up-to same scheme since long that recently India found Chinese Flags in IoK which was an attempt of preparation to malign China as well though nothing going to happen as the power will remain a power and India cannot change the fact at all.

Do you think India doesn't know that China will block this UN resolution on Masood. As I said Masood is convenient alibi. The whole thing suits India too.

I am sure China took this step after asking Pakistan to fall in line

Pakistan NSA Gen Janjua held "Off the record" meeting with Pakistani journalists few tweets from a journalist...

Power is not constant. It changes. India too will not remain as it is now. India is a continent sized country with a dynamic economy and it knows that future is on its side.

Well every power knows how the future is going to be on its side as it is always the matter of policies like Pakistan is aligning itself as well for the economical growth which is evident as CPEC and China investment at large, therefore, India is trying to hit two with one stone. We are aware that GoI will never miss a chance to do so when it comes to malign Pakistan or China.
