The Congress is happy the process of designating JeM chief Masood Azhar a global terrorist has concluded successfully, senior party leader P Chidambaram said on Thursday, while also asking why Pakistani premier Imran Khan wants Narendra Modi to continue as India’s prime minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\n a huge diplomatic victory for India, the UN Sanctions Committee on \nWednesday designated Azhar a global terrorist after China lifted its \nhold on a proposal to ban him.Reacting to the development, Chidambaram \nsaid Azhar was released in 1999 by a BJP government after the hijack of \nan Indian Airlines aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter Masood Azhar masterminded the\n Mumbai terror attack in 2008, the process to name him as a global \nterrorist was started by a Congress\/UPA government in 2009.”We are happy\n that the process has concluded successfully in 2019. But why does the \nPrime Minister of Pakistan want Mr Modi to continue as Prime Minister of\n India?” the former home minister said in a series of tweets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Azhar’s\n designation as a global terrorist by the UN came two days after the \nfourth round of the seven-phase Lok Sabha polls. The elections end on \nMay 19 and the votes will be counted on May 23.Last month, during an \ninteraction with a small group of foreign journalists in Islamabad, the \nPakistan prime minister said he believes there may be a better chance of\n peace talks with India and settling the Kashmir issue if Modi’s party \nBJP wins the general elections.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
