Pakistan's Intent Clear, Says India as China Backs Ally at UN, Blocks Move to Sanction Masood Azhar's Brother

News 18  

China’s move to block a proposal by the United States and India at the UN Security Council to sanction a top terrorist in the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad was expected and shows Pakistan’s intent, top Indian government sources have told CNN-News18. India and the United States wanted Abdul Rauf Azhar to be subjected to a global travel ban and asset freeze, which required the nod of all 15 members of a Security Council sanctions committee. They added that the developments had made it clear that Pakistan’s appeals about the terrorist’s arrest were just an eyewash and it was trying to placate the Financial Action Task Force, which is putting pressure on the country to launch stringent anti-money laundering and anti-terror financing efforts. India said the FATF should revisit the situation and look at compliance again before giving Pakistan clearance to exit the ‘Grey List’.
