China, for the fourth time, hindered an activity to tag Jaish-e Mohammad boss Masood Azhar as a “Global Terrorist” by the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday. The move by Beijing – which thinks about Pakistan as an “all-weather partner” – came as the Security Council was to take up goals on the issue, days after the February 14 Jaish assault in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama in which 40 CRPF warriors killed. The resolution, say sources, was sponsored by a number of nations – the figure, sources stated, went into “double digits”. India said it was “disappointed by this result”.
US ambassador says if China keeps on hindering this assignment, responsible member states might be compelled to seek different actions at the Security Board if Beijing continued with this policy. “It shouldn’t have to come to that,” the US ambassador said.
“We are grateful for the efforts of the Member States who moved the designation proposal and the unprecedented number of all other Security Council members as well as non-members who joined as co-sponsors,” said Ministry of External Affairs.
The Ministry additionally said they will keep on pursuing every single avenue to guarantee that terrorist oppressor pioneers associated with attacks on India are conveyed to equity.
India has been connecting with world pioneers to boycott Azhar as far back as the JeM guaranteed obligation regarding the lethal Pulwama terror attack, which left 40 CRPF Soldiers dead a month ago.
“This is the fourth time that China has placed a hold on this listing. China should not prevent the Committee from doing the job the Security Council has entrusted it to do,” another security council negotiator told PTI. Asserting that China has been conflicting with battling fear, another US ambassador stated, “Pakistan has often depended on China to protect it from the listing of Pakistan-based terrorist groups and individuals in the UN 1267 sanctions committee.”
“The case for designating Masood Azhar — the leader of a group the UN already calls an al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist organization — is undeniable,” said the US diplomat.
On Tuesday, the Trump organization said that Azhar meets the criteria to be assigned as a “global terrorist” by the UN.
“Our views on Jaish-e-Mohammad and its founder are well known. The JeM is a UN-designated terrorist group,” State Department representative Robert Palladino told journalists.
“Azhar is the founder and the leader of the JeM, and he meets the criteria for designation by the United Nations. The JeM has been responsible for numerous terrorist attacks and is a threat to regional stability and peace,” Robert said.
The State Department alluded to this announcement on Wednesday when gotten some information about the most recent improvements in New York.
“I would say that the United States and China share a mutual interest in achieving regional stability and peace and that a failure to designate Azhar would run counter to this goal,” Palladino said.
Congressman Brad Sherman depicted the Chinese move as inadmissible.
“Once again, China has blocked the UN from imposing sanctions on Masood Azhar, the leader of Jaish-e-Mohammed, which carried out the Pulwama attack in India in February. This is unacceptable,” Sherman said.
“I urge Beijing to allow the UN to put endorses on Azhar, the leader of a UN-recognized terrorist organization,” Sherman added.
A few American research organization individuals hammered China for its choice to postpone the Azhar posting.
“Today, China doubled down on a very bad bet. It blocked yet another round of UN sanctions on Pakistan-based JeM chief Masood Azhar weeks after the group claimed credit for the deadliest terror attack in Kashmir,” Jeff Smith from the Heritage Foundation said.
The president of ‘The American India Public Affairs Committee’, Jagdish Sewhani, said the choice of China is glaring maltreatment of the veto control that it appreciates as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
“China today stands uncovered as the main supporter of Pakistan’s State sponsor of psychological warfare. We Indian-Americans have chosen to hold serene exhibitions outside the Chinese government office and departments in the US and urges the general population of Indian birthplace and companions of India over the world to do likewise in their nations too,” he said.
“We are intending to connect with individuals from the Congress and the US government to convey to their notice the absurd Chinese move in this regard. We ask the Trump organization to investigate the conceivable outcomes of different measures inside the UN Security Council to assign Masood Azhar as a worldwide psychological oppressor,” he said.
In the course of the most recent 10 years, China has single-handedly obstructed Azhar’s listing as a “global terrorist” at the UNSC Committee. India had begun pushing for Azhar’s listing since 2008-09, after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, and that time too China had put a technical hold.
