ISLAMABAD: Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry informed a Senate panel on Thursday that India was trying to get included the name of Masood Azhar, the head of the outlawed Jaish-e-Mohammad, in the United Nations list of designated terrorists. He said the issue of Masood Azhar was not simple and would be tackled in accordance with the National Action Plan (NAP).

Briefing the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, which met here with Senator Nuzhat Sadiq in the chair, he said India’s plan to use the UN platform to malign Pakistan had failed miserably.

“It is now India itself, and not Pakistan, which is facing isolation due to its unwise policies,” the foreign secretary remarked.
