A concerned India in touch with China over Lakhvi episode
New Delhi, June 24 (IBNS) India has got in touch with China to express its concern after Beijing blocked New Delhi's proposal for UN action against Pakistan over the release of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the prime accused in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack case.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup said India had taken up the matter with China “at the highest level”.
At a meeting of the UN Sanctions Committee at the UN Headquarters in New York, India had demanded action against Pakistan, saying Lakhvi's release was in violation of the UN resolution 1267 that deals with designated entities and individuals.
“Government had taken up the issue of violation of the 1267 sanctions regime in respect of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi. Our concerns in this matter were conveyed to the Chair of the 1267 Committee. We also raised this bilaterally with the other members of the Committee. In the case of China, this matter has been taken up at the highest level,” Swarup said in a statement.
China blocked India’s move on the ground that the evidence New Delhi had provided was insufficient.
Lakhvi was released from jail by a Pakistani court in April which created an uproar in India which complained to the UN sanctions committee, saying that the release violated the UN resolution.
