Expressing strong condemn, UN Antonio Guterres gave clarion call against terrorists in Pulwama attack, says, "bring them to justice"

United Nations, Feb 15: Antonio Guterres “Strongly” condemned the terror attack against security personnel in J&K’s Pulwama district, enacted by Pakistan based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed, and took a powerful stand against this terrorist attack and called for those behind the attack to be brought to justice.

 

"We strongly condemn today's attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district and express our deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and to the government and people of India," Guterres's spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said at the daily press briefing here Thursday.

Responding on the terror attack, Dujarric said, "We, of course, wish a speedy recovery to those injured and call for those behind the attack to be brought to justice."

When asked about New Delhi's appeal to the international community to support India's proposal to list terrorists, including JeM chief Masood Azhar, as a designated terrorist under the UN Security Council's Sanctions Committee and to ban terrorist organisations operating from territories controlled by Pakistan, Dujarric said the "issue of listing of terror organizations is one that is in the hands of the Security Council".

One of the deadliest terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir's three decades of militancy, a Jaish suicide bomber rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into a CRPF bus in Pulwama district, killing at least 44 personnel and leaving many critically wounded.
