Worldview with Suhasini Haidar| UNSC terror designations: Why did India lash out at China?
The Hindu
In this episode of Worldview, we examine the 1267 Sanctions Committee, and why India’s envoy at the UN lashed out in a speech saying the UNSC’s credibility is at an all time low
The scene that played out in the UN Security Council seemed eerily familiar- after India and the US brought a joint proposal to designate Rauf Asghar, deputy chief of the Jaish e Mohammad and brother of its chief Masood Azhar, as a global terrorist under UNSC resolution 1267, China placed a technical hold on the listing.
In that speech, Ambassador Khamboj hit out at:
- China- for blocking terrorist designations
- Pakistan- for harbouring terrorists, and for glorifying their acts
- Afghanistan- for the Taliban regime’s support to terror groups
- even the United Nations Secretariat itself, for not including Indian inputs on these groups in its latest situation report that the UNSG presented.
