India says all permanent UN Security Council members must have veto power

India’s UN envoy Harish Parvathaneni on Monday, said every permanent member of a reformed Council needs a veto.
He told a UN General Assembly debate on the veto that members without one would be ‘second-class’.
India wants more permanent and non-permanent seats, and says adding only non-permanent ones would fail.
China, France, Russia, the UK and the US hold the veto on the 15-member Security Council.
