Ram Madhav took a dig at Imran Khan over Kashmir after Pakistan faced the heat of FATF and narrowly escaped the blacklist. BJP's general secretary stated that the Pakistani Prime Minister 'cannot handle his own country.' Furthermore, speaking over the ceasefire violations by Pakistan, he said that he has 'full faith' in the Army.
He said, "Imran Khan shouts about Kashmir once in a day, he does not know how to handle his own country. He missed the FATF blacklist by a whisker. But whatever happens, we will not let any destruction in life and property of our people. I am aware that a ceasefire violation is happening at this moment. I have full faith in our soldiers and they will handle it."
Retaliating to Pakistan's ceasefire violation to aid infiltration into Kashmir, the Indian Army, on Sunday, launched a counterattack on terror camps inside Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) opposite the Tangdhar sector. Sources report that the Indian Army has used artillery guns to target the terrorist camps which have allegedly been trying to push terrorists into Indian territory. This attack was launched after Pakistan violated ceasefire in the Tangdhar sector in Jammu and Kashmir's Kupwara district, earlier in the day.
FATF
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) expressed its displeasure over Pakistan's inaction in fighting terrorism extending its grey list status with warnings of further action if the country fails to comply with the action plan suggested. The new deadline for Pakistan is February 2020 before which it has to act on the recommendations of the FATF, failure to which might get it blacklisted.
While Pakistan had claimed that it had made serious efforts towards combating terrorism, it has failed to convince the FATF members who have once again placed the country on the grey list raising serious questions over its preparations and commitment to fight terror financing. Presided by china, the plenary meeting of the FATF concluded that Pakistan has not solved its strategic deficiencies. Following the meeting, the global terror finance monitoring body has asked Pakistan to take the following actions.
