NEW DELHI: After the militant attack in Pathankot, the Narendra Modi government is all set to use diplomacy with China to get it to back Indias pitch for a UN Security Council ban on Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar, declaring him a global terrorist and placing him alongside most-wanted Lashkar-e-Tayyaba founder Hafiz Saeed , Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi and underworld fugitive don Dawood Ibrahim.
The government is preparing to draw afresh Chinas attention to the mounting evidence against Masood in the wake of the terror attack in Pathankot, top government sources said. The MEA is likely to present the latest evidence and assessment on Maulana Masood Azhar on the Pathankot attack to China to urge it to drop its opposition to the UN declaring him a terrorist, intelligence sources said.
India wants sanctions not only against Azhar but also Abdul Rehman Makki of Jamaat-ud Dawa and Azam Cheema of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba. Besides, national security adviser Ajit Doval is also likely to take it up with his Chinese counterpart at an appropriate stage.
