India slammed China in 2022

Earlier, India and the US had designated Makki Abdul Rehman as a terrorist under their domestic laws. India, in June last year, had slammed China after it blocked the proposal to list Makki under the Sanctions Committee.

Abdul Rehman Makki and many LeT/JUD operatives have been involved in raising funds, recruiting and radicalizing youth to violence and planning attacks in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). The ‘global terrorist’ has also served as head of LeT’s foreign relations department and member of Shura (governing body).
