World community to blame |
Amid an outpouring of pledges and platitudes at the fourth Nuclear Security Summit convened by President Obama, India let it be known that it was deeply unhappy with sections of the international community over its response to terrorism. A joint move by China and Pakistan to thwart India`s bid to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed leader Masood Azhar came in for withering criticism from New Delhi amid all the hoopla in Washington over nuclear terrorism. India finds it find it incomprehensible that while the Pakistan-based JeM was listed in UN Security Council Committee established under UN Security Council Resolution 1267/1989/2253 as far back as 2001 for its well known terror activities and links to the Al Qaeda, the designation of the group`s main leader, financier and motivator has been put on a technical hold. The recent terror attack in Pathankot on January 2 has shown that India continues to bear the dangerous consequences of not listing Masood Azhar. Given the global networking of terrorist groups, this has implications for the entire international community. Thus, India warned in a statement, without mentioning that Beijing played a key role in thwarting India`s application.
