Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who is part of an all-party diplomatic delegation, on Monday, criticised China for backing Pakistan in blocking references to terrorist groups at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Calling out Beijing's role in shielding the Lashkar-e-Taiba-backed 'Resistance Front' in the United Nations, "We have been reporting about RF to UN Sanctions Committee, time after time and when India encouraged our friends on the Security Council to mention the Resistance Front in the press statement that the Security Council issued." "Pakistan government, I am sorry to say that with the support of your friend in China, took out the name, so there is not even a reference. We are not on the Security Council, and neither are you. We have to change that situation. Both of us should be on the Council together," Tharoor said in a dig at Islamabad and Beijing.
