India has identified Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed leader Maulana Masood Azhar as the mastermind of the Pathankot terror attack on 2 January, 2016. File photo: AFPNew York: Hoping that the UN would soon designate Masood Azhar as a terrorist, a top Indian diplomat has said that New Delhi will not sit idle till the Pakistan- based Jaish-e-Mohammed leader is brought to justice. India has identified Azhar as the mastermind of the Pathankot terror attack on 2 January, 2016. China in August extended by three months its technical hold on the US, France and UK-backed proposal to designate the Pathankot attack mastermind as a global terrorist by the UN. If China would not have extended the technical hold last month, Azhar would have automatically been designated under the UN as a terrorist.
