Pakistan calls India’s bid to ban Masood Azhar ‘politically motivated’

Pakistan on Sunday said India’s bid at the UN to ban Masood Azhar was “politically motivated” and “replete with frivolous information”, two days after its close ally China blocked the proposal to get the JeM chief and Pathankot attack mastermind listed as a global terrorist.

China had blocked India’s proposal to get Pakistan-based Azhar listed as global terrorist by the UN, citing lack of “consensus” on the issue.
