Topic Description:

After the dastardly terror attack in Pulwama carried out by Pakistan based Jaish-e-Mohammad last week , India has started a diplomatic campaign against Pakistan to isolate it on the global stage and the efforts are bearing positive results .

While close to 50 nations have issued strong statements codemning the ghastly terror attack , some including Israel have offered all kind of help to India in dealing with the menace of terror.

France has said it will move a proposal at the UN to list Jaish chief Masood Azhar as global terrorist and take steps to retain Pakistan in the FATF grey list . Significantly India's attempt to put Masood Azhar on the UNSC global terrorist list have been repeatedly blocked by China with the latest being in 2017.

United States of America has also asked Pakistan to immediately end the support and safe heaven provided to all terrorist groups operating from its soil.
