Vladimirovich Diplomacy : Not to get provoked by lame duck POTUS
"The Russian diplomats returning home will spend the New Year Holidays with their relatives and dear ones. At home. We will not create problems for US diplomats. We will not expel anybody," Putin said in a statement circulated by the Kremlin press service.

Fitting response to lame duck POTUS :

 Putin decides not to expel US diplomats from Russia in response to Washington’s actions -  Russian statement.

India rejects Pakistan's attack on Hindu organisations  like RSS

New Delhi. Dec 30. Indian Foreign Office spokesperson today reacted strongly to Pakistan's allegation against Indian Hindu Organisations closely connected with Modi government.

 He said, "The Pakistan MoFA statement of yesterday is absurd even by their standards. 

"Labelling bonafide Indian political parties and social and cultural organisations as terrorist organisations seems a desperate attempt to deflect international focus from Pakistan's own complicity in spawning internationally proscribed organisations like LeT, JuD and JeM, which continue to target Pakistan's neighbours from territory under Pakistan's control."

Terrorist Masood Azhar Issue 

China should show more understanding of the danger posed to all by terrorism  : India

New Delhi Dec 30 . Indian Foreign Office spokesperson  today  said, "We note with concern China’s decision to block the proposal to list Masood Azhar as a designated terrorist under the 1267 Sanctions Committee of the UN Security Council which had been presented nine months ago and had received the strong backing of all other members of the Committee.

"The international community is aware that the Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed which is proscribed by the United Nations, has been responsible for innumerable terrorist attacks on India including the Pathankot Air Base attack. The inability of the international community to list its leader Masood Azhar is an unfortunate blow to the concerted efforts to effectively counter all forms of terrorism, and confirms prevalence of double standards in the fight against terrorism.

"This decision by China is surprising as China herself has been affected by the scourge of terrorism and has declared opposition to all forms of terrorism. As a consequence of this decision, the UN Security Council has again been prevented from acting against the leader of a listed terrorist organization.

"We had expected China would have been more understanding of the danger posed to all by terrorism and would join India and others in fighting the common challenge of terrorism.

"On our part, we will continue to push forward with resolute determination through the use of all options available with us to bring perpetrators of terrorist violence to justice."
