Pakistan had initiated a move to list two Indians – Angara Appaji and
Gobinda Patnaik – as designated terror operatives under the
UNSC’s 1267 Committee for Counterterrorism Sanctions.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has thwarted
Pakistan’s attempt to politicize 1267 special procedure on
terrorism by giving it a religious colour, Permanent
Representative of India to the United Nations, TS Tirumurti
said on Wednesday.
Pakistan had initiated a move to list two Indians – Angara
Appaji and Gobinda Patnaik – as designated terror
operatives under the UNSC’s 1267 Committee for
Counterterrorism Sanctions.
The UNSC led by the US, UK, France, Germany and Belgium decided to block Pakistan’s move after Islamabad failed to produce evidence to back up
its allegations.
“Pakistan’s blatant attempt to politicize 1267 special
procedure on terrorism by giving it a religious colour, has
been thwarted by UN Security Council. We thank all those
Council members who have blocked Pakistan’s designs,” TS
Tirumurti tweeted.
Earlier this year names of two other Indians- Ajoy Mistry and
Venu Madhav Dongara – proffered by Pakistan were also
blocked
