Beijing: After blocking India’s efforts for UN action against Pakistan following its release of Mumbai attack mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, China itself on Monday sought global support against Uyghur militants in Xinjiang saying there should be no ‘double standards’ in the fight against terrorism in the aftermath of the Paris attacks.
“The East Turkestan terrorist forces with ETIM (East Turkestan Islamic Movement) as representative has conducted a series of attacks in China, which caused heavy casualties,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said to a query on China’s calls for global action against Uyghur militants some of whom have joined the Islamic State (IS) in Syria.
“The damage caused by them is evident. Around the world ETIM force caused grave threat and we have introduced to the countries in the world about the damage caused by them and provided specific and clear evidence and facts.
