United Nations: India has sought United Nation’s intervention in the release of Mumbai terror attack mastermind and Lashkar-e-Taiba commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, saying it was in violation of the norms of the global body and it should raise the matter with Pakistan.

In a letter to the current Chair of the UN Sanctions Committee Jim McLay, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Asoke Mukherjee said Lakhvi’s release by a Pakistani court was in violation of the 1267 UN resolution dealing with designated entities and individuals.

The sanctions measures apply to designated individuals and entities associated with terror groups including al-Qaeda and LeT, wherever located.
