- Britain’s diplomat has said that the United Kingdom had played a key role to secure the designation of Jaish-e-Mohammad(JeM) chief Masood Azhar as a UN Security Council sanctioned terrorist.
- He said that China had agreed to the listing after all references to terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir, including the Pulwama strike, were dropped.However,he said that the listing of Masood Azhar was more important than the details of the decision.
