UNSC thwarts Pakistan's move to get 2 Indians designated as terrorists

New York/ IBNS:  The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has foiled an attempt by Pakistan to politicize 1267 special procedure on terrorism by giving it a religious colour, Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations, T S Trimurti has said.

Pakistan had attempted to have two Indians- Angara Appaji and Gobinda Patnaik- listed as designated terrorists under the UNSC's 1267 Committee for Counterterrorism Sanctions, Murti said on Wednesday.

The move was blocked by UNSC led by the US, UK, France, Germany and Belgium after Islamabad failed to produce evidence to prove its allegations.

"Pakistan's blatant attempt to politicise 1267 special procedure on terrorism by giving it a religious colour has been thwarted by UN Security Council. We thank all those Council members, who have blocked Pakistan's designs," tweeted  TS Trimurti.

Media reports said Pakistan's move was perceived largely as retaliation against India's success last year in getting Jaish-e-Mohammad chief Masood Azhar listed as a global terrorist by the 1267 committee.

In the last few months, Pakistan has repeatedly tried to push its claim that India fomented terrorism on its soil at various UN platforms, but failed to gather support.

Pakistan even made a false claim that its envoy to UN had delivered a statement at the UNSC meet on terrorism but it was proved to be a false claim, reports informed.
