COLOMBO (News 1st) – In a major diplomatic win for India, the United States, United Kingdom and France moved a fresh proposal, at the United Nations Security Council to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar a global terrorist.

If the proposal is passed, Masood Azhar will get tagged of being a ‘UN-designated global terrorist’, which would mean that he would be subject to a global travel ban, asset freeze and arms embargo.

The move comes amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan. IAF fighter jets destroyed a major terror camp of the Jaish-e-Mohammed in Balakot, around 80 km from the Line of Control, in a pre-dawn strike on Tuesday(February 26).
