FATF
condemns suicide bombing
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in Paris
has warned Pakistan of the mounting costs of its decades-old lax policy towards
terror groups. It came a week after the February 14
Pulwama attack, and the global terror finance watchdog condemned the suicide
bombing of the CRPF convoy that left 40 personnel dead. FATF also said that Pakistan is posing a “risk to the international
system”. It further added that Pakistan lacks “understanding” of the
terror finance risks posed by groups, such as the Taliban, al-Qaeda, Islamic
State, Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. It asked Pakistan to ensure that
terror entities do not travel out of the country, or have access to funding or
weaponry.
Prime Minister Imran Khan held a meeting of his
national security officials, and vowed to double down to tackle terror groups
in Pakistan. Khan’s own speech in response to India’s demand for action on
those responsible for Pulwama was a disappointing mix of denial and opportunism
to raise the Kashmir issue.
Citizens of both the nations have been
suffering due to lack of seriouness and political will to sit and discuss all
the pending issues. Violence breeds violence. Let some international
organisations find out the exact reasons for the persisting terrorism. What are
these organisations seeking? In what way do they get happiness by creating
terror? How many countries are supporting them? But what ever the reasons, they
should remember that violence cannot solve their problems. Only peaceful
negotiations can bring happiness.
It appears that Pakistan wants JK and want to
establish islamic kingdom starting from Istanbul all the way to Philippines.
The only big chunk disconnecting this one is Indian Landmass.
Pakistan has set up a “Crisis Management Cell”
in the wake of heightened Indo-Pak tensions. The cell will keep all
stakeholders updated over border situation and diplomatic contacts. Days after
the Pulwama attack, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said security forces have been
given free hand to avenge the dastardly act.
We Indians should proclaim a policy of a 1000
surgical strikes. Bet the Pak elite will not have the guts to do anyting other
than continue pursuit of proxy war by terror groups or fire from the shoulders
of all weather friend China.
Pakistant doesn’t have the funds for general
public but yet it can afford to sponsor terrorism for political gains.
