Within the framework. And positive progress has been made."

India has been pushing the UNSC to designate Masood Azhar as a global terrorist, a move which gathered further momentum after the February 14th terror attack on a CRPF bus at Pulwama in which over 40 soldiers were killed.

The US, along with UK and France had proposed listing Pak-based Masood Azhar as an international terrorist in the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack.

China had put a hold on the listing of Masood Azhar as an international terrorist on March 13 at the 1267 sanctions committee of the UNSC.

"We have stated our position many times. I won't go detail here. I just want to emphasise that, first, China supports the issue of listing, which should be resolved through political consultation within the framework of the 1267 Committee. I think that is also the consensus of the overwhelming majority of the members of the Council," China's spokesperson had said on Monday.

WION had reported on Sunday that China is willing to soften its stand on listing of Masood Azhar and could soon announce his listing. The remarks from China comes just few days after Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's visit to the country for the Belt and Road forum.

British High Commissioner to India Dominic Asquith had said last week that his country supports listing of Masood as an international terrorist. Without taking China's name he had said, "We are waiting to see whether the country that is so far been resisting agreeing to its listing will lift that objection," hoping, "we will get to that conclusion of listing Azhar".

Earlier, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had said that all evidence of terrorist activities of Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Muhammad and its leader Masood Azhar had been shared with China.&nbsp;

China had earlier dismissed reports that it had been served an ultimatum until April 23 by the US, UK and France to lift its "technical hold" on designating Masood Azhar as a global terrorist&nbsp;

After China said "positive changes" had been made towards listing Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as an international terrorist, Pakistan government sources said Masood Azhar will be detained for any pending FIRs after his listing is done today.

Pak to detain Masood Azhar as China may lift 'technical hold' at UNSC: Sources

Pakistan&#39;s Foreign Ministry on Thursday said Islamabad was disappointed over what it termed the unjustified imposition of sanctions by the United States on Kashmiri militant group Hizbul Mujahideen.

The U.S. took the action on Wednesday against the largest of the anti-Indian Kashmiri militant organisations fighting in the Himalayan territory, which is divided between Pakistan and India.

The U.S. Treasury Department said it was freezing the assets of the Pakistan-based group, and prohibiting Americans from having dealings with it.

The State Department said the group had claimed responsibility for several attacks, including one in 2014 in Jammu and Kashmir that left 17 people injured.

The move against Hizbul Mujahideen comes after last month&#39;s U.S. designation of militant commander Syed Salahuddin as a terrorist - a label he has denounced.

&quot;We are disappointed,&quot; Pakistan&#39;s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nafees Zakaria said at a media briefing in Islamabad.

&quot;The designation of individuals or groups supporting the Kashmiri right to self-determination as terrorists was completely unjustified,&quot; he said.

Zakaria said it was India which should be held to account for what he said was its brutal use of force and human rights violations in Kashmir.

The countries have fought three wars, two of them over the Muslim-majority Kashmir region, since they gained independence in 1947 from British colonial rule.

Delhi accuses Islamabad of fuelling an insurgency, a charge Pakistan denies, saying it only extends diplomatic and moral support to the Kashmiri&#39;s independence movement.

In his Independence Day speech on Tuesday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was conciliatory towards Muslims in Kashmir, where violent protests against Indian rule have erupted over the past year. He said neither abuses nor bullets would be enough to pacify the region and that the Kashmiris needed to be embraced instead.&nbsp;
