FATF Better Take Action On Pakistan stepping Up Infiltration Into India Or Pakistan will get Punished
There are increased efforts by Pakistan to push terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir through the Line of Control (LoC) to disturb peace.
Ever since the government of India ended the special status of its State of Jammu and Kashmir on August 6, Pakistani leaders have been indulging not only in war-mongering but also pitching for ‘jihad’, inferring terror attacks, against India.
Police in Jammu and Kashmir recently said it had foiled a possible terror attack after it seized a truck with a large number of arms and ammunition, including 6 AK assault rifles and 180 rounds of bullets, and arrested three operatives of Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM).
JeM is the terror group which carried out the ghastly attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama in Kashmir on February 14, killing 40 personnel of the Central Police force.
As Pakistan scales up its efforts to push terrorists across the Line of Control (LoC) into Jammu and Kashmir, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international watchdog on terror activities, is watching.
The FATF, which has already put Pakistan in the ‘Grey List’ (watch list) for not doing enough to curb terror financing and related aspects in relation to groups like Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), will review its case in the first week of October.
There are indications that the global body is not satisfied with Islamabad’s actions and if any terror attack, emanating or supported from Pakistan, takes place in India, the country will in all probability be placed in the ‘Black List’, after which it can’t receive aid from international institutions, like IMF and World Bank.
FATF should better take severe financial actions to restrain Pakistan or it is likely to receive a solid punishment from India.
