India on Thursday said that China’s repeated attempts to shield Pakistan-based terrorist leader Masood Azhar from United Nations sanctions will send a “dangerous message”.
Ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Goa for the BRICS summit and his bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sideline, New Delhi talked tough on Beijing’s policy of blocking moves to impose UN sanctions on the terrorists based in Pakistan.
India said proscribing Jaish-e-Mohammed leader Masood Azhar under the 1267 sanction regime of the UN will send “a strong signal” to all terror groups around the world that the international community will no longer “pursue, or tolerate, selective approaches to terrorism”.
