Addressing a press conference, Owaisi, who is the sitting MP fromHyderabad, said that the UNSC statement declaring Massod Azhar a globalterrorist has no mention of Pulwama, Uri and Pathankot terror attacks.”Pulwama, Uri, Pathankot are not mentioned.
I want to ask the Prime Minister, why this compromise was done?” said theAIMIM leader.
“You are not mentioning Pulwama or the Parliament attack. Masood Azhar wasresponsible for all of this. You compromised on that. Tell us whatcompromise you made to the Chinese (to get them to agree to Masood`sblacklisting),” Owaisi asked.
