New Delhi: Terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar took the responsibility of the attack on CRPF to convey. Now, India has called for the UN Security Council members to list Masood Azhar as a designated terrorist under UN sanction committee.

Last week, US, Britain and France have moved a proposal at the UNSC to designate the chief of the JeM as a global terrorist, China has not confirmed its stand on this proposal. If Azhar is listed by the UNSC then it will subject him to a global travel ban, asset freeze and arms embargo.

MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said. “All members of the UNSC are aware of JeM training camps in Pakistan and about the chief of JeM Masood Azhar and his presence in Pakistan."

The terror group had claimed responsibility for the dastardly Pulwama attack in February which led to the death of 40 CRPF jawans. China had earlier blocked the proposal to designate Azhar as global terrorist saying that the 1267 committee of the UN Security Council has fixed norms on the listing of terrorist organisations or individuals.

India is seeking Azhar’s listing after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, and even that proposal was put on  technical hold. According to the media, UNSC members can seek clarification on the proposal till March 13 following which the process to list his as global terrorist will start.

Recently, IAF conducted air-strike on JeM camp in Pakistan. MEA said that that the strike has achieved its desired objective and demonstrated the country's firm resolve to take decisive action against terrorism.
