The UN Security Council on rejected Pakistan’s claim to get two Indian nationals designated as terrorists under the 1267 sanctions committee process as Islamabad failed to produce evidence to back up its allegations.

Pakistan had alleged two Indians – Angara Appaji and Gobinda Patnaik – as designated terror operatives under the UNSC’s 1267 Committee for Counterterrorism Sanctions. UNSC led by the US, UK, France, Germany and Belgium decided to block Pakistan’s move after Islamabad failed to produce evidence to back up its allegations.

“Pakistan’s blatant attempt to politicize 1267 special procedure on terrorism by giving it a religious colour, has been thwarted by UN Security Council. We thank all those Council members who have blocked Pakistan’s designs,” TS Tirumurti tweeted.

Previously this year names of two other Indians- Ajoy Mistry and Venu Madhav Dongara – proffered by Pakistan were also blocked.

Pakistant claims India’s role in fomenting terrorism on its soil at various UN bodies in recent months. It even made a false claim that its envoy to the UN had even delivered a statement at a UN Security Council meet on terrorism but this was later proved to be false.
