New Delhi: India on Tuesday welcomed the listing of Lashkar-e-Tayyiba terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki by the United Nations Security Council’s (UNSC) ISIL and Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee.
MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, “Threats from terrorist organisations in the region remain high and listings and sanctions by the UNSC, are an effective tool to curb such threats and dismantle terror infrastructure in the region.”
“We welcome the decision of the UN Security Council’s ISIL and Al Qaida Sanctions Committee to list Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki, who is also the brother-in-law of LeT leader Hafiz Saeed,” Bagchi said.
Bagchi also said that India will remain committed to pursuing a zero-tolerance approach to terrorism and will continue to press the international community to take credible, verifiable and irreversible action against terrorism.
The UNSC listed Pakistan-based Makki as a global terrorist on Monday after China lifted its hold on a joint India-US proposal to blacklist the LeT’s deputy chief, subjecting him to an assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo, after years of efforts by India and its allies.
