Washington, May 4 (IANS) Pakistan Ambassador to the US Asad Majeed Khan has said that there will be no negative repercussions of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar's designation as it only "reinforces" Islamabad's commitment with the international community to fight terrorism.
After a decade of resistance and four vetoes by China against the UN Security Council terrorism sanctions committee's attempts to declare Pakistan-based Azhar an international terrorist, it finally reached a consensus on Wednesday on designating him and imposing sanctions that freeze his assets and ban travel.
Azhar's JeM had claimed responsibility for the Pulwama terror attack in February which killed 40 CRPF personnel.
