<span style="color: #222222;">Government sources in New Delhi have termed China's decision to put on hold India-US proposal to list Abdul Rehman Makki under the United Nations Security Council's sanctions as unfortunate.<br />''<br />''Sources said, this decision by China is extremely unfortunate given the overwhelming evidence against Makki.<br />''<br />''The sources said, China should reflect on its response that signals double standards on combating terrorism.<br />''<br />''Sources also said, protecting well-known terrorists from sanctioning in this manner will only undermine its credibility and risk exposing even itself more to the growing threat of terrorism.<br />''<br />''It runs counter to China's claims of combating terrorism and this is not the first time that China has placed hurdles for the listing of known terrorists.<br />''<br />''In the past, it had repeatedly blocked proposals to designate Maulana Masood Azhar, Chief of Pakistan-based and UN-proscribed terrorist entity Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM).<br />''<br />''India and the US jointly proposed to list Pakistan-based terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki under the United Nations Security Council's Al-Qaeda and ISIL Sanctions Committee. Both India and the US have already listed Makki as a terrorist under their domestic laws.<br />''<br />''Yesterday, China placed a technical hold on the proposal. Makki has been involved in raising funds, recruiting and radicalizing youth to violence and planning attacks in India, particularly in Jammu and Kashmir.</span><br />
