New Delhi is taking up with Beijing the matter of extension of technical hold on India's bid for a United Nations ban against Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar. China had recently extended the technical hold for three months.<br/><br/>Responding to a media query, MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said the UN Committee has already pondered over India's submission of not proscribing Masood Azhar though it has declared JeM as banned organization. <br/><br/>He said, India's main argument made before the committee in March this year was that the main leader, financier and motivator who continues terrorist actions remain unhindered.<br/><br/>Mr Swarup said, designating Masood Azhar as a terrorist would help send a strong signal to all terror groups across the world that the international community is no longer going to pursue, or tolerate, selective approaches to terrorism. <br/><br/>Mr Swarup said, distinction between good and bad terrorists is fallacious and counter-productive.
