Hyderabad: With China blocking a UN resolution to designate Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist, MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday termed this as a failure of "jhula diplomacy" of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"China's refusal to cooperate in blacklisting this known terrorist is a classic example of the failure of Modi's jhula diplomacy," the Hyderabad MP said, in an obvious reference to Modi 'swinging' with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit to India.
