China has blocked a move by India in the UN to seek action against Pakistan for the release from jail of LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the mastermind of the Mumbai attacks, on the ground that New Delhi has not provided sufficient information. In the past too, Pakistan has banked on China to block moves in the UN Security Council against terrorist groups based in Pakistani territory. The US, Britain, Russia, France and Germany have expressed concern at Lakhvi’s release and Washington has called for him to be re-arrested.
