India Slams UNSC Members’ Indifference In Tackling Terror

30 June, San Francisco

India has slammed the “indifference” of some permanent UNSC members towards restraining terrorists, saying the attitude puts a question mark on the Security Council’s ability to combat terrorism.

The remarks came against the backdrop of permanent member and veto-wielding China blocking India’s move in the UN demanding action against Pakistan over release of Mumbai attack mastermind and LeT commander Lakhvi in violation of a resolution of the world body.

At the 70th Anniversary Commemoration of the UN Charter in San Francisco India’s Ambassador to the UN Asoke Mukerji said terrorists have attacked UN institutions and peace keepers with impunity, without being prosecuted.
