External Affairs Minister points to delay in designating terrorist individuals, entities
Urging UN Security Council members not to make false distinctions of “good” terrorists and “bad” terrorists, External Affairs minister S. Jaishankar made indirect references to both China and Pakistan for delaying the process of designating terrorist individuals and entities, as well as failing to stop the funding of terror.
Addressing the United Nations Security Council for the first time since India assumed temporary membership of the UNSC, EAM S Jaishankar proposed an eight-point Action Plan and urged member states to commit to 'ero tolerance' for terrorism.
Back in 2005 – a long, long time ago the US denied then-Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi a visa because of his alleged role in the 2002 riots, in which about a 1,000 people, according to official estimates, were killed. Much water has since flowed under the bridge, with Prime Minister Modi being very warmly hosted by both Barack Obama and Donald Trump, and hosting them in turn, in 2016 and 2019 – whatever Obama may say about the BJP’s.
