Pulwama terror attack LIVE updates: France backs India's bid to ban Masood Azhar at the UN

Live updates of the Pulwama terror attack aftermath

  • France backs India's attempt to brand Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as 'Global Terrorist' at the United Nations, CNN News 18 has reported.

  • MEA slams Imran Khan, says not surprised that Pakistan refuses to acknowledge Pulwama attack

    Below is the statement from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)

    We are not surprised that the Prime Minister of Pakistan refuses to acknowledge the attack on our security forces in Pulwama as an act of terrorism. Prime Minister of Pakistan has neither chosen to condemn this heinous act nor condoled with the bereaved families.

    Pakistani PM has ignored claims made by JeM, as well as by terrorist, who perpetrated this heinous crime. It's a well-known fact that JeM and its leader Masood Azhar are based in Pakistan. These should be sufficient proof for Pakistan to take action.

    PM of Pakistan has offered to investigate the matter if India provides proof. This is a lame excuse. In the horrific attack in Mumbai on 26/11, proof was provided to Pak. Despite this, case has not progressed for more than 10 years.

    Likewise, on the terror attack in Pathankot, there has been no progress. Promises of “guaranteed action” ring hollow given the track record of Pak. In this “Naya Pakistan”, Ministers publicly share platforms with terrorists like Hafiz Saeed who have been proscribed by UN.

    Pakistan’s Prime Minister has called for dialogue and expressed his readiness to talk about terrorism. India has repeatedly stated that it is ready to engage in a comprehensive bilateral dialogue in an atmosphere free from terror and violence.

    Pakistan claims to be the greatest victim of terrorism. This is far from the truth. The international community is well acquainted with the reality that Pakistan is the nerve center of terrorism.

  • If Pak kills one Indian jawan, we should kill two of theirs: Captain Amarinder Singh

    While responding to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's belated statement on the Pulwama terror attack, Punjab chief minister Capt. Amarinder Singh told media persons, "What more proof does he want? JeM chief Masood Azhar is sitting there. Will they accept when we show them bodies of the terrorists killed by our forces?" 

    "So what kind of a statement is this? Whole world knows the truth. If even one of our jawans is martyred, we should kill 2 of theirs (Pakistan). This is the only language they will understand. We've already said that whatever steps the government takes, we will support," he added further.

  • Meghalaya Guv calls for ban on Kashmiri goods
     

    Meghalaya Governor Tathagatha Roy stokes a controversy, appealing people to restrain from buying Kashmiri goods. 
    He later told CNN News 18, "We do not want to drive Kashmiris out of Kashmir. I want them to be restrained from anti-Kashmiri acts."

    On being asked about the recent ostracisation of Kashmiri students, Roy said, "Kashmiri students being attacked could be propaganda. A one-of incident might have happened"
