Pakistan's Attempts To Falsely Link Indian Citizen To Terrorism Fall Flat At UNSC

In a major setback for Pakistan, the United States has reportedly blocked the Islamic nation's efforts to proscribe an Indian national as a global terrorist by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) 1267 sanctions committee, reports ANI.

The US blocked and terminated Pakistan's proposal after it failed to produce enough evidence against the Indian citizen, ANI quoted sources as saying.

The terror charge proposal of Pakistan was put on a 'technical hold' last year. US has now conveyed to the Security Council members about terminating Pakistan's proposal.

According to the report, Pakistan has been insisting on the UN terror listing of the Indian national, whom it has been attempting to link and frame for carrying out acts of terrorism on its soil.

The UNSC 1267 committee was set up to oversee measures imposed on terror groups operating in Afghanistan, such as ISI, Al-Qaeda and others.

Pakistan has been repeatedly trying to falsely link Indian citizens with acts of terrorism on its soil after Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar was designated as a global terrorist in 2017.

However, Pakistan's bluff has been called out by India's close partners like the US repeatedly.
