China's stand on JeM chief Masood Azhar an unfriendly act: BJP MP

India should tell China that its repeated blocking of the move in the UN to designate JeM chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist will have consequences, a BJP member said in Lok Sabha on Thursday.

Calling the Chinese stand in the matter as a "decidedly unfriendly" act, former Home Secretary R K Singh said he wanted to draw the attention of government's strategists to "instruments" like India's vast market and banning of certain imports from the neighbouring country, which can be used to take on China.

"This is the third time China has blocked the move. This is a decidedly unfriendly act by China. We should inform China that this will have consequences," he said.
