On Wednesday, United Nations declared Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist. This is a great victory for india.
India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Syed Akbaruddin tweeted, "Big, small, all join together. Masood Azhar designated as a terrorist in UN Sanctions list".
After pulwama attack, India was pushing the UN to declared JeM chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist and the same proposal had been pushed forward by the US, UK and France. But, the proposal was being blocked by China. Now, China lifted its "technical hold".
China said that it ended its hold after "a careful study of revised materials (information) and taking into consideration the opinions of relevant parties concerned".
After china lifted its hold, JeM Chief Masood Azhar declared as global terrorist by the UN Security Council 1267 Committee on Wednesday.
