    India has identified Masood Azhar as the mastermind of a 2016 terror attack and wants him designated as a terrorist by the UN. However, China has repeatedly blocked these efforts by placing technical holds on the proposal. Syed Akbaruddin, India's UN representative, said that India will continue pursuing Azhar through legal routes and that justice will inevitably be served, though the process may be delayed. He noted that the current technical hold expires in November.

    New York, Sep 17:
    Hoping that the UN would soon designate Masood Azhar as a terrorist, a top Indian diplomat has said that New Delhi
    will not sit idle till the Pakistan-based JaisheMohammed leader is brought to justice.
    India has identified Azhar as the mastermind of the Pathankot terror attack on January 2, 2016. It has also blamed his
    brother Rauf and five others for carrying out the attack in which seven Indian soldiers were killed along with all the six
    terrorists.
    If I were to use a term, the matter is what we would call in judicial terms sub-judice. Currently the matter is with a UN
    committee. We hope that the committee will be able to fulfill its role in designating Masood Azhar who we have tried
    for quite some time but have not succeeded yet, Syed Akbaruddin, Indias Permanent Representative to the UN, said
    here.
    However, we would like to make it very clear, we will pursue Masood Azhar so that the ends of justice are met, he said
    yesterday at a news conference in response to a question on Indias effort towards terrorist designation of Azhar, which
    has repeatedly been blocked by China.
    China in August extended by three months its technical hold on the US, France and UK-backed proposal to designate
    the Pathankot attack mastermind as a global terrorist by the UN. If China would not have extended the technical hold
    last month, Azhar would have automatically been designated under the UN as a terrorist.
    A veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council, China has repeatedly blocked Indias move to put a ban on
    the JaisheMohammed chief under the AlQaeda Sanctions Committee of the Council. JeM has already been in the
    banned list.
    Last year in March, China was the sole member in the 15-nation UN organ to put a hold on Indias application with all
    other 14 members of the Council supporting New Delhis bid to place Azhar on the 1267 sanctions list that would
    subject him to an assets freeze and travel ban.
    He (Azhar) may try to delay this, but the inevitable will happen. So be certain about it. The clock is ticking for him. He
    will be pursued until justice is met, Akbaruddin said.
    When a reporter asked what are Chinas objections to British-backed proposal to list Azhar as a designated terrorist by
    the UN, he said, You should ask them.
    The three-month validity of the current technical hold is expiring on November 2.
