FATF ignores substantial evidence about New Delhi’s involvement in terror financing

[AZ1]

All these organization are nothing but time waste and serve west interest. They don't care about ASIA at all.

Kashmir issue is front of their eyes but they don't do a thing.

 

[Jackdaws]

There goes the credibility of FATF Now why Pakistan should be forced to follow the procedure elaborated by FATF when they don't accept evidence against India and appoint India in the panel reviewing case of Pakistan. This is plain BS

Don't follow. You are not obligated to do so.

The Senate Standing Committee on Interior, which met here on Tuesday with Rehman Malik in the chair, regretted that India continued enjoying an undeclared immunity as no action was being taken against it despite all evidence of terror financing.

Mr Malik said he had written a letter to FATF President Marshall Billingslea on Feb 14, seeking action against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for protecting international fugitives involved in the biggest-ever credit fraud and money laundering. He said he had sent the letter with all evidences proving that Prime Minister Modi was involved in money laundering and terror financing as he was supporting the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) — the biggest terrorist organisation.

And in his response, he added, Mr Billingslea said the FATF was not an investigative or prosecutorial body. Rejecting the plea, Mr Malik contended that if the FATF could not open a case against PM Modi for terror financing and money laundering then how it was taking up a case against Pakistan and had put it on ‘grey list’. He disclosed that he had written another letter to the FATF president, explaining how it was legal to take stern action against PM Modi.

Have you guys even read the article! This is laughable and embarrassing.

First, the letter was written by Rehman Malik - and you want FATF to take you seriously?

Second, the committee ( not the govt) is asking FATF to take action against Indian PM Modi and is alleging his support base RSS as terrorists - and that too the biggest terror organization!!!! I mean WTF! There is a limit of stupidity.

Pakistan has just requested FATF remove India. Of course, FATF will reject them. Just like how ICC declined to take action against India as per Pak's request over the army caps. Looks like the world is conspiring against Pakistan and Kashmiris.

Let us see what the FATF does first before commenting. The review is scheduled for September or October, right?

Why would the whole world be ganging up on you, when you are the leader of Muslim world. Moreover U.S. China Russia EU Turkey and all IOC countries are in fact backing you and are against India.

ISLAMABAD: A Senate panel has slammed the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for discriminating against Pakistan and according preferential treatment to India by ignoring substantial evidence about New Delhi’s involvement in terror financing.

The Senate Standing Committee on Interior, which met here on Tuesday with Rehman Malik in the chair, regretted that India continued enjoying an undeclared immunity as no action was being taken against it despite all evidence of terror financing.

Mr Malik said he had written a letter to FATF President Marshall Billingslea on Feb 14, seeking action against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for protecting international fugitives involved in the biggest-ever credit fraud and money laundering. He said he had sent the letter with all evidences proving that Prime Minister Modi was involved in money laundering and terror financing as he was supporting the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) — the biggest terrorist organisation.

Rejecting the plea, Mr Malik contended that if the FATF could not open a case against PM Modi for terror financing and money laundering then how it was taking up a case against Pakistan and had put it on ‘grey list’. He disclosed that he had written another letter to the FATF president, explaining how it was legal to take stern action against PM Modi.

ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD
In his letter to the FATF president, Senator Malik wrote: “I thankfully acknowledging receipt of your response to my letter dated 14th February 2019 (copy enclosed). In your response, you have intimated that holding any formal inquiry/investigation on a complaint does not fall within the mandate of the FATF.”

In the fresh letter, Mr Malik has pointed out that a formal inquiry against Pakistan was initiated based on a complaint from the United States alleging Pakistan’s involvement in terror funding and money laundering, and consequently the FATF placed Pakistan on the ‘grey list’. “Therefore, the stance taken by the FATF vis-à-vis my complaint against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was not based on facts and practice of the FATF.”

Retired Justice Fazalur Rehman, a senior member of the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances, informed the Senate committee that the statements of all missing persons after their recovery happened to be identical — “plain-clothes persons come, take them blindfolded, keep them at an undisclosed location and leave them at some deserted place”. He said the people approached the commission when police refused to lodge an FIR.

The committee chairman decided to summon the four provincial home secretaries and inspectors general to get a briefing on missing persons. Mr Malik observed that the Commission of Inquiry on Enforced Disappearances had a very limited jurisdiction and stressed the need for empowering it legally and financially. He said the commission should also have suo motu powers.

Taking notice of an increase in incidents of targeted killings in Dera Ismail Khan, the committee expressed alarm over the killing of around two dozen people over the past two months alone in the district. Mr Malik directed the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police to bring to an end the ongoing targeted killings and take concrete actions against the terrorists and organisations involved in these horrific incidents.

He said that in the next meeting of the committee, religious scholars from different schools of thought, political representatives, families of the martyrs and notables of the area would also be invited to discuss the issue and find out a permanent solution.

The KP police informed the committee that there was a nexus between sectarian and terrorist organisations in D.I. Khan. It was told that police had launched a crackdown on a terrorist organisation. “We have arrested Iqbal Kalia and others belonging to his organisation, while some others have been killed,” a representative of the KP police said.

I agree on the title too, its misleading to put it mildly - it should be FATF ignores Rehman Maliks non-sense. And here people are all ganging up to boycott FATF and even UN!!!

But my main issue is, what were these jokers thinking before writing such a letter to FATF in first place, and then on top of that criticized FATF in the committee after the ridiculous arguments were ignored! If I was in FATF, I would actually fine this ‘senate panel’ for wasting admin processing resources of FATF!

The correct tile per PDF rules should be:

Senate panel slams FATF for discriminating against Pakistan

But you are correct that such ill-advised letters only serve to make Pakistani politicians the laughingstock of the world even more than they already are.

Poor guys. Can't seem to catch a break

 

[nahtanbob]

FATF cannot be taken seriously. It is a politically motivated clown fest.

If they continue on war footing we know how to get them back.

unless you like being economically squished i would take the FATF seriously

 

[Cobra Arbok]

Here is a crazy idea. If most of the world's countries do not see something, maybe it does not exist. Pakistan uses various international forums to highlight so-called Indian human rights violations in Kashmir and support of terrorism in Pakistan, but is met with only humiliation as most of the world ignores it.
