We submitted more evidence, they were convinced, a diplomatic source replied to WION, when asked why China change its stance on Masood Azhar, after blocking it for 10 years., Asked about no mention of Pulwama in the notification on the listing of Azhar, the source said, "Link to Pulwama in the whole process is obvious. The whole process started after Pulwama. It started with a clear statement from UNSC. Process started with Pulwama and ended with a listing of Masood Azhar as an international terrorist"

Masood Azhar was declared an international terrorist by the UN on 1 May. India had first proposed listing of Azhar in 2009 but it was blocked by China many times.
