China votes against declaring Indo-US Pakistani terrorist Makki as “global terrorist”

America has already declared Makki a terrorist. Makki is a relative of Hafiz Saeed, the leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba and the main conspirator of 26/11 Mumbai attacks. It is being told that India and the US had submitted a joint resolution under the UN Security Council’s 1267 ISIL (Daesh) and Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee to designate Makki as a global terrorist, but China accepted the resolution as final. Interrupted in the moment.

India achieved a major diplomatic victory at the United Nations in May 2019, when the global body declared Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar a ‘global terrorist’. It took India almost a decade to do this. China was the only country in the 15-member UN Security Council body that tried to block efforts to blacklist Azhar.
