TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Days ahead of the FATF meeting, the Pakistan opposition slammed the Imran Khan government over the escape of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan”s (TTP) former spokesperson Ehsanullah Ehsan who was responsible for terror attacks on Malala Yousafzai and Peshawar Army Public School.
The Financial Action Task Force, a global watchdog on terror funding and money laundering, had placed Pakistan in ”grey list” in June 2018, requiring it to crack down on terror groups and their finances by October 2019. Failure to comply poses the risk of being placed on the Black List with Iran and North Korea, which can adversely impact a country”s trade and investment.
The Imran Khan government expects to exit the FATF grey list with the help of China, Turkey and Malaysia in the February 16 meeting, sources based in Pakistan told. However, the opposition in Pakistan has been asking the government how it was going to explain itself at the FATF over the escape of one of the country”s most dreaded terrorists, Ehsanullah, from military custody.
“How can the government lecture on terrorism? What will the government say to FATF — that we are fighting terror but we don”t know how the country”s biggest terrorist has fled Pakistan? Are we not ashamed at all?,” chairman of Pakistan People”s Party (PPP) and member of national assembly Bilawal Bhutto told local media.
