Notwithstanding the fact that Pakistan has implemented 26 out of 27 action plans given by the FATF, it remains in the grey list. It has also been given a new six point action plan to remove deficiencies in Mutual Evaluation Report in order to secure exit from the list. Foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi reacting to the development said “there was no justification for keeping Pakistan in the grey list adding that some powers wanted to keep the country under pressure,” though he did not name those powers.
Placing Pakistan on the grey list and then persisting with it in spite of faithful implementation of almost the entire action plan given to her is not only politically motivated but also discriminatory.Official circles believe that it was unfair to undertake two different processes against Pakistan simultaneously.
