New Delhi: After a decade-long struggle by India, the United Nations on Wednesday designated Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist after China lifted its hold on a proposal to blacklist him under the Security Council's Sanctions Committee. It is considered as a huge diplomatic win for India.
What does AZHAR'S ban mean?
- All his bank accounts and his organisation's banks accounts will be frozen
- Total immobilization: Azhar or his organisation members cannot travel to UN member countries
- UN member countries cannot supply arms to Azhar or his organisationUN declares JeM chief Masood Azhar a 'global terrorist'
"Big, small, all join together. Masood Azhar designated as a terrorist in @UN Sanctions list. Grateful to all for their support," India's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Syed Akbaruddin tweeted.

When asked whether China has lifted the hold, Akbaruddin told PTI that "yes, done."
China removed its hold on the proposal, which was moved by France, UK and the US in the Security Council's 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee in February just days after the horrific terror attack against Indians security forces in Pulwama carried out by Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish.
