India seeks ban on Masood Azhar, gives dossier to UN Sanctions Committee

New Delhi: Indian agencies had prepared an exhaustive dossier on JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar for the UN Sanctions Committee to ban him, with the dossier listing out his terror activities since 1993 and recording his links with the ISIS and Al Qaeda.

The dossier accuses him of participating in the “financing, planning, facilitating and perpetrating” acts of terror in support of the illicit arms trade for the Al Qaeda, JeM and Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM).

India has categorically mentioned the Pathankot terror strike in its report to the UN, saying Masood Azhar was one of the handlers of the terrorists . In its failed bid to have Masood designated as terrorist by the UN, India has conveyed to the world body that he and his terrorist group JeM have continuously engineered terror attacks against India, the latest instance being the strike on Pathankot airbase on January 2.
