Topic Description:

China has once again blocked the move in United Nations Security Council to designate Pakistan based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad's chief Masood Azhar as global terrorist. Jaish-e-Mohammaf had claimed responsibility for the the ghastly terror attack in Pulwama on 14th Feb in which 40 security personnel were martyred.

Two weeks after that terror attack, a proposal was moved United States of America , United Kingdom and France in the UNSC to blacklist Masood Azhar under the 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee. However on 13 March just fee hours before the deadline for rasing objections came to an end China refused to lift it's technical hold on the proposal which prescribes sanctions against designated terrorists and terror groups.
