FATF plenary begins; Pakistan remains on grey list
Owing to Pakistan's failure in curbing terror, according to FATF officials, it will remain on the grey list and might even be blacklisted. Additionally, Pakistan was also asked to take action against UN-declared terrorist organisations Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba but it has failed to do so.
Pak remains on FATF's greylist
With the beginning of FATF plenary in Paris today, Pakistan remains on the grey list of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Last year in October, the FATF had assigned 6 tasks to Pakistan to curb terrorism which it has failed to complete. Sources suggest that no strict action against terrorists Hafiz Saeed and Maulana Masood Azhar (who heads the Jaish-e-Mohammed and Hafiz Saeed, chief of the Lashkar-e-Toiba) can be the biggest reasons for Pakistan remaining on his grey list.
