Welcome to the decision to declare Makki a global terrorist
Hailing the move, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the threat posed by terrorist organizations remained high in the region. The listing and sanctions by the UNSC are an effective tool in curbing such threats and dismantling the terrorist infrastructure in the region.
He further said that India is committed to pursue zero tolerance approach towards terrorism. India will continue to press the international community to take credible and irreversible action against terrorism. We will not tolerate any terrorist activity.
Know who is Abdul Rehman Makki?
Abdul Rehmani Makki is a member of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, the terrorist organization of Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Apart from the Makki Pakistan Islamic Welfare Organization Ahl-e-Hadith, it also dominates the Lashkar-e-Taiba. Makki Hafeez was Saeed’s most special relative who always supported him loyally in his black game. Makki was always ahead in plotting against India. Makki had also hatched a dangerous conspiracy to terrorize Mumbai. He has been involved in recruiting and radicalizing youth to raise funds, recruit and plan attacks in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir. He has been holding various leadership roles within the US designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) Lashkar. He has also played a role in raising funds for Lashkar’s operations.
India and America have already declared terrorists
India and the US had also introduced a joint resolution to designate Makki as a Global Terrorist under 1267 ISIL (Daesh) and Al Qaeda Sanctions Committee of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). However, in June 2022, China stopped it at the last moment.
