Pakistan rejects Indian statement about FATF report

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Pakistan has rejected the Indian statement regarding the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) report, terming it as preposterous and unwarranted. In a statement on Saturday, the Foreign Office spokesperson said that this is yet another evidence of India's relentless efforts to politicize the deliberations of FATF for its narrow, partisan objectives. The spokesperson said that Pakistan has consistently shared its concerns on this account with the FATF chair and members in the past and drawn their attention to high level political statements and media leaks from India to cast Pakistan in a negative light and plead for Pakistan's downgrading. The spokesperson expressed hope that the broader FATF membership would take cognizance of this continuing malicious campaign and reject any attempt aimed at politicization of the FATF process by India.
