Pakistan slams India's attempts to politicise FATF proceedings.

Islamabad: Pakistan on Monday urged the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to take notice of India's continuing malicious campaign against the country and the attempts to politicise the proceedings of the international body.

In a statement issued by the Foreign Office, Pakistan rejected the recent comments by the Indian defence minister claiming that FATF can blacklist Pakistan anytime. "The statement reinforces Pakistan's concerns, repeatedly highlighted to the FATF membership, about India's attempts to politicise the FATF proceedings to further its narrow, partisan objectives," the FO statement said.

The Foreign Office maintained that India's incessant smear against Pakistan and blatant partisanship also call into question its credentials to be co-chair of the Asia-Pacific Joint Group that reviewed Pakistan's progress to implement the FATF Action Plan. "Our concerns in this regard have been previously brought to the attention of FATF members," the statement said. "It is important for FATF to ensure that the process remains fair and unbiased," it added.
