The Council's 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee is expected to meet in UN and the issue of Azhar's listing is likely to be considered
The US, the UK and France this time stepped up pressure on Beijing by taking the issue directly to the powerful UN Security Council (UNSC)
The fresh proposal to designate Azhar under the 1267 Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council was moved by France, the UK and the US, in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack
China, a veto-wielding member of the UNSC, opposed the move, saying the issue should be resolved at the 1267 Committee
China has so far blocked the move to designate Azhar as a 'global terrorist' four times in recent years
This is the first-time Beijing spoke of progress to resolve it
US has directly moved a resolution in the UN Security Council on Thursday to blacklist Azhar
Pakistan's FO spokesperson said the Indian dossier contains 91 pages and six parts, out of which only part two and three pertain to the Pulwama attack. Other parts were "mostly general allegations"
There have been four attempts through a UN sanctions committee to add Azhar to the blacklist. China blocked 3 previous requests and put a technical hold on latest one, which could last up to 9 months
Azhar had procured a Pakistani passport in his real name and original address in 1986 before arriving in India in 1994
China for the fourth time blocked the bid in the UNSC to designate Azhar by putting a technical hold on the proposal. The Chinese move was termed "disappointing" by India
She asserted that India had secured "unprecedented support" from the international community for listing the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief under the UN Sanctions Committee
After China blocked bid at UN to tag JeM chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist, Indians on Twitter are seeking boycott of Chinese products
'Time has come for Pakistan to decide in its own interests', says foreign minister about upcoming UN Security Council vote.
The social media was filled with reports that Azhar had died, but there was no confirmation as of now, the officials said
The country will insist on maintaining Pakistan on the 'grey list' of countries at the ongoing meet of the FATF in Paris
China, a permanent member of the UNSC, has repeatedly blocked India's move to designate JeM chief Masood Azhar as a terrorist under the Al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the Council
Last month China once again blocked a move by Britain, France and the US to list Azhar, the mastermind of last year's attack on the Pathankot air force base, as a global terrorist
A veto-wielding permanent member of the Security Council, China has repeatedly blocked India's move to impose a ban on the JeM chief
Last week, China had blocked a bid at the United Nations by the US, France, and Britain to list Azhar as a global terrorist, citing a lack of consensus
