India’s former representative at the UN, Syed Akbaruddin, said on Tuesday that China cannot thwart India. Previously, the United Nations Sanctions Committee designated Abdul Rehman Makki as a global terrorist.
“The news depicts a growing understanding globally that China cannot thwart India. China’s stranglehold over India’s pursuit of justice against those who attacked our people is now in vain,” Akbaruddin said.
“Countering terrorism is one of the Indian foreign policy’s most important goals,” Akbaruddin said.
Against Pakistan-based terrorists, India’s quest for justice for its people would continue. Akbaruddin said. “This is a good success of Indian diplomacy,” the former representative at the UN said.
“It took us more than a decade to designate Masood Azhar and now it has taken us about seven months plus to designate Abdul Rehman Makki. You can see that India is successful in mounting pressure on those who oppose the designation of terrorism,” Akbaruddin stated.
Meanwhile, former Indian diplomat Vidya Bhushan Soni stated that these terrorists are not only against India, but also against humanity.
“Such terrorists are not only against India but against humanity and against all the innocent people of this world. So it is good that China has supported us in this. They have secured their own future through this so that they can also ask for help if faced with such terrorists,” Soni said.
However, the brother-in-law of 26/11 mastermind and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed, Abdul Rehman Makki, has been designated a global terrorist under the ISIL (Da’esh) and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee by the United Nations Security Council.
