Pakistan-based Masood Azhar was designated as a global terrorist on May 1 after China withdrew its long-standing block to the move. The terror tag for Azhar, seen as a major diplomatic victory for India, was possible after continued pressure by the US on China. The PM stressed that the Masood Azhar issue isn’t about China but about global terrorism. This is also the reason why the long-pending listing of Masood Azhar as a global terrorist has happened. It is a global terrorism issue,” Modi said.
