| Pak trying to befool FATF | | | Ahead of the crucial meeting of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Pakistan has staged yet another drama by announcing that global terrorist Hafiz Saeed has been put behind bars for his involvement in terror financing cases.
The FATF meeting is scheduled to be held this week. The FATF had set February 2020 as deadline for Pakistan to crackdown on terror financing units within the country and act against the terror bosses sitting there.
Pakistan already figures in the grey list of the FATF and few months before there was every possibility about it falling into the FATF blacklist. Somehow it has managed to remain in the grey list but the situation can change if FATF feels that Pakistan has not been able to act against the terrorists and the terror financing modules operating there.
The so-called Naya Pakistan led by the cricketer turned politician, Imran Khan, is already facing the heat due to it being placed in the FATF grey list. Most of the financial channels have been blocked and very little financial aid is flowing into the country.
Pakistan at present is facing a severe economic crisis as the prices of essential commodities have skyrocketed. Residents of that unfortunate land-whose rulers are obsessed with war and promoting terror-are facing very difficult times. The country which is so poor needs to pay some attention towards the plight of its people who are suffering.
The FATF meeting will decide the fate of Pakistan, if the body believes that Pakistan has taken it for a ride by taking cosmetic measures on the name of fighting terrorism, then none of the friends of Pakistan can pull it out from FATF grey list. There is a possibility about the FATF acting tough against Imran Khan's country.
Pakistan by announcing action against Hafiz Saeed is trying to tell the world that it's very much serious about fighting terrorism. But the reports emanating from Pakistan reveal that Saeed's sentence is nothing but eyewash and the Mumbai attack mastermind is being provided with all the facilities even in detention. He can control his terror outfits from within the jail also.
The world shouldn't get carried away by the dramas being staged by Pakistan. Its Army and the spy agency ISI have been managing such shows since the inception of Pakistan. As soon as the FATF pressure will end, Hafiz Saeed, and other global terrorists, who are running their factories in Pakistan will be once again in the driver's seat and Imran Khan will be dancing to their tunes. |
