As reported by Geo News, FATF officials say that India has presented Ali Amin Gandapur’s statement in which he said that we arrest the Taliban, but state institutions release them.
The Indian government has based this statement on the position that Pakistan allegedly protects terrorists.
India has demanded that FATF re-include Pakistan in the grey list.
FATF officials say that India has presented this statement as a kind of charge sheet against Pakistan to prove that concessions are being given to terrorist elements at the state level.
