 China has blocked efforts by India and the United States to declare Abdul Rehman Makki a terrorist

China on Friday (June 17th) blocked at the last minute a joint proposal by India and the United States at the United Nations in which the alleged militant from Pakistan, Abdul Rehman Makki, was accused by the UN Security Council of being a member of ISIS and Al-Qaeda was recommended by the sanctions committee as a "global terrorist."

The United States has already declared Abdul Rehman Makki a terrorist. She is a relative of Hafiz Saeed, head of Lashkar-e-Taiba and alleged mastermind of the Mumbai bombings. A series of terrorist attacks in Mumbai on November 26, 2008 killed 175 people and injured more than 300.

India blames Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani-linked group, for the attacks.

China has already thwarted efforts by India and its allies to add alleged terrorists from Pakistan to the list of global terrorists.

The first victory after a decade of struggle was India's tremendous diplomatic success at the United Nations in May 2019, when the international body declared Masood Azhar, head of the Jaish-e-Muhammad Pakistan-based group, a "global terrorist".

New Delhi achieved this after almost a decade of struggle.

China is a permanent member of the Security Council, so it has veto power, and all 15 permanent and non-permanent members of the Security Council must agree to approve a proposal.

India itself had proposed in 2009 to declare Masood Azhar a terrorist, but to no avail.

In 2016, it, along with the three permanent members of the Security Council, the United States, Britain and France, once again proposed a ban on Azhar. However, this time too he did not succeed.

In 2017, three permanent members of the Security Council reiterated a similar proposal. But on all occasions, China vetoed it. However, in 2019, when the United States put forward a proposal with the direct support of France and Britain, China did not stand in its way, and thus Masood Azhar was blacklisted by the Security Council and added to the list of global terrorists.

Makki added to US list of global terrorists

In 2010, the United States added Abdul Rehman Makki to its list of special global terrorists. At the same time, all their activities within the US jurisdiction were banned and any transaction of any American citizen with them was also banned.

The United States has offered a reward of up to 2 million for information leading to the capture of Abdul Rehman Makki.

The United States has said in a statement that Mickey has held several key positions in Lashkar-e-Taiba, a foreign terrorist organization designated by the United States. He has also been instrumental in securing funding for LeT's activities. "
