Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Wednesday the UN decision to declare Masood Azhar a global terrorist is a big success for India's efforts to root out terrorism and proved that the country's voice can no longer be ignored on the global stage.
"It is a matter of satisfaction that a consensus has developed in the world on designating Masood Azhar a global terrorist. Der aaye, durust aaye (Better late than never)," Modi said at an election rally here.
"It is a big success for India's efforts to root out terrorism," he said.
The PM said India's voice is being heard globally and its views can no longer be ignored. "This has been proved today."
"There were destruction all over, there were pits in 2014 and I put in 55 months to fill those pits which were created by the Congress in 55 years."
