Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale on Monday raised with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi the issue of Beijing blocking the latest bid at the UN to declare Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist while emphasising that both countries should be sensitive to each other’s concerns.
India has shared with China all evidences of terroractivities of JeM and its leader Azhar, MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said inresponse to a question on whether ban on Azhar was raised during Gokhale’songoing China visit.
“It is now for the 1267 Sanctions Committee and other authorised bodies of the UN to take a decision on the listing of Azhar as a global terrorist. India will continue to pursue all available avenues to ensure that terrorist leaders who are involved in heinous attacks on our citizens are brought to justice,” Kumar said.
