Alexandre Ziegler extols India’s airstrike, France to push Masood Azhar as global terrorist at UNSC

French diplomat Alexandre Ziegler comments on India's airstrike on Pakistan saying that he and his nation recognize (India's) legitimacy to assure its security against cross border terror. He also welcomes the release of wing commander Abhinandan.

While encouraging India's action against terrorism, Ambassador of France to India Alexandre Ziegler says that there shouldn't be any tolerance of terror. He further opines that France will push for designation of Masood Azhar as global terrorist at United Nations Security Council (UNSC). His country has already been pushing Masood Azhar as global terrorist at UNSC for the last two years.
