External affairs minister Jaishankar slams China for terror stand at UNSC

Jaishankar also said terror groups like the LeT and JeM continue to operate with both impunity and encouragement

In a swipe at China, India told the UN Security Council on Thursday that countries should not place “blocks and holds” without any reason on requests to designate terrorists, warning that any double standards and distinctions between terrorists would be made only at “our own peril”.
 
“The international community holds a collective view that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations must be condemned. There cannot be any exception or justification for any act of terrorism, regardless of motivations behind such acts,” External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar told the UN Security Council.
