They had been extremely helpful in every aspect to Pakistan. Problem is economic crisis and young leadership. Old kings in some way or other has studied Pakistan, and look upto it. New gen has studies abroad and more resistant to a Muslim block. Keep in mind the economic crisis is pushing civil unrest/agitation so they have to look to big market.GCC hardly been helpful to us all these years long before the present situation over Kashmir,
China is neither killing or sidelining Ugyurs. Yes, they might have put some restriction on religious freedom but not forcing them to leave religion. Nonetheless, you cannot compare communist China with'biggest and champion of democracy INDIA'.blissfully ignorant of China’s maltreatment of Its own Muslim citizens.
That is 5th Ag biggest achievement. Now they have strengthened the freedom fighters stance that they are right..even those pro India local Kashmiri politicans are now cursing India and one of them recently said he would now rather live under Chinese rule
Ok.Imran khan is being ignored by Modi and the world. He keeps giving these pointless speeches and thanks to that our first and second secretaries at UN are learning the skill of delivering the rebuttals. They should thank Imran.
Its cute that Imran feels that there could be a possible outcome from these speeches at UN. Of the 5 veto yielding nations 4 are firmly behind India on this. Imran is just fooling their masses.
Obviously Munir Akram at UN and Foreign Office of Pakistan is feeling the pressure to push their agenda of Kashmir at all possible fora. But overdoing this, could have opposite effect. This could soon become a nuisance for others. Then it'll be the other countries who'll be giving the shut up calls.
Lolx even a single one can cause problem you say billionYou should show this as evidence to UN. See if that makes them to even issue a sentence against India. They are yet to make a statement on Kashmir by the way.
Also India's trade with the world is over $1.2 trillion a year. A billion of unidentified transactions are a drop in the bucket.
Jail mey betke papa john pizza kha raha hai woh
Nothing will happen because it is Pakistan that is accusing. Everyone knows your hypocritical position vis a vis Uighurs. When it comes to trade, India will always have an upper hand in negotiation given our huge market except may be with US. But they are firmly backing us given their relationship with China.Ok.
Nobody expects any outcomes through the speeches but it does have an impact. Certainly it has pissed you off.
Anyways people feel represented in a way they should.
And secondly, the world leaders who listens, though donot endorse it but certainly use it as a leverage in dealings with india. Already india is a dumping ground of west. India keep buying more to making them happy otherwise they would be talking about liberty and freedom and rights etc.
3rdly it does make up your mind.
Even if you do nothing about it. Repeating the truth again and again contantly feed it in minds of people. They though for their own interest not say anything. But keep that in mind and that inpacts the way they deal with india.
Indias reputation gets badly tarnished which was carefully concocted over the years. And what imran says is proved by countless pogroms, protests etc...
Its only indiots who think that Chinese actions against them are not related to their stupidity on 5th August.
Hate the reality eh?LOL @ some Indian establishmenet staged drama.
Here is a glimpse of corrupt India , prove it if it is wrong. You are belong to terriost country and FATF should put you in black list.Hate the reality eh?

No, no and no. Because there is no material evidence for your claim. There are no terror organizations running from India or base India as it's operation. FATF has put you on grey list because of your poor financial infra that is used to fund terror organizations in both India and Afghanistan. Designated terrorists and terror groups from PakistanHere is a glimpse of corrupt India , prove it if it is wrong. You are belong to terriost country and FATF should put you in black list.
Looks like the guy who wrote this is a Pakistani who wants to find some semblance to India in their quagmire at FATF. It's amusing why Pakistanis still haven't figured out why they are in FATF, and why India is a member country.Indian media is never tired of describing Pakistan as hub of money laundering and terror financing in the world. Indian representatives echoed their babble in recent United Nations meeting also.
India makes no bones in declaring its intention to link Pulwama blasts with money trail to Pakistan. By doing so India hopes to get Pakistan blacklisted by Financial Action Task Force.
Little focus on money laundering and terror financing by India: Nowadays, Major powers’ geo-political and economic interests have forced them to ignore suspicious financial transactions by India. However, not long ago, the world was more concerned about money laundering in India than in Pakistan
Even the USA called upon India to do more to prevent financing of terror networks. USA’s Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs Anthony Wayne told the Senate Banking Committee, ‘In India, two accounts belonging to terrorist individuals/entities have been identified, but the Government of India has not frozen any assets to date. It is aware of the UN 1267 Committee List, however’, Wayne noted that India’s Prevention of Money Laundering Act `criminalises money laundering and requires banks and other financial institutions and intermediaries to report individual transactions valued over US$ 23,000 to the financial-investigation unit’. Wayne added, ‘India has also indicated it wants to join the Financial Action Task on Money Laundering. However, at a recent FATF plenary meeting in Paris, concerns were raised regarding its ability to provide effective international cooperation in a timely manner and to extend mutual legal assistance’.
Never heard of an Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs Anthony who?
In the US, the bigger your designation is, the lower is your relevance. It seems. But I googled to find who that guy is apparently, he is some career diplomat who made such a claim.
Here is a glimpse of corrupt India. World Bank estimated that capital flight of Rs 50 to 100 crore took place in four fertilizer plants projects via Italian firm Snam Projetti. Minimum commission of seven percent was charged on imports of the public sector. Indian government paid no regard to the recommendations adopted by the Financial Action Task Force on money laundering, set up in July 1989 by the Paris summit of the seven most-developed countries. The conventional money-laundering techniques (smurfing, cover companies, etc.) are used to the hilt in India. The average amount stashed away from India during 2002-06 is US$27.3 billion (about 136,466 crore). It means that during the 2007-2018 period, the amount stashed away is 27.3×15=US$ 4, 095 billion. Just imagine the volume of money stashed abroad since 1947, including Nehruvian era when Birlas and Tatas gave blank cheque to Congress.
Lid on laundered money lifted: To what end, the laundered money is put is anyone’s guess. However, a recent document-based report by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has blown the lid off the suspicious financial transactions by Indian banks, public and private sector companies.
The ICIJ report based on Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) files “represent less than 0.02% of the more than 12 million suspicious activity reports that financial institutions filed with FinCEN between 2011 and 2017.”
Earlier a study, conducted by Conflict Armament Research, had confirmed that seven Indian companies were involved in the supply chain of over 700 components including fuses or detonating cords used by the Islamic State to construct improvised explosive devices .Even the Sri Lanka blasts were linked to terrorists hiding in Indian Southern States. As an eye wash, India arrested Islamic State moles. To bypass banking channels, even gold and diamond are `legal tender’ for money laundering.
How the FATF favoured India: In both India and Pakistan, money laundering is popularly known as hawala, or hand –to-hand-transaction. The Financial Action Task Force was scheduled to review India’s money laundering and terrorist financing regime, a ten year cycle, in September-October 2020. But, it has been tentatively postponed to January February 2021 ostensibly `in view of COVID19 pandemic in India. The year-long review evaluates `Indian legal system against financial crimes at its plenary meeting in February 2022 and subsequently issue a statement and recommendation about the country.
The FATF happily agreed with India that `it is impossible for assessed jurisdictions and asssessories alike to conduct on-site visits and in-person meetings’ (no relaxation for Pakistan).
How India hoodwinked the 2013 FATF team: In the 2013 review, India managed to hoodwink the FATF by pleading that `it has set up a joint working group comprising 22 central investigation, intelligence-gathering and regulatory agencies to check illegal financial transactions. The agencies include the Central Bureau of Investigation. Enforcement Directorate, Income Tax Department, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, Financial Intelligence Unit, Customs, Market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India, banking regulator and insurance regulator TRDAL.
The 2013 review team was much impressed by Rahul Navin, a 1993-batch Indian Revenue Service Officer of the Income Tax Department deputed with the Enforcement Directorate. Navin who had earlier worked with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development had authored a book Information Exchange and Tax Transparency: Tackling Global Tax Evasion and Avoidance.
How the ICIJ blew lid off India’s US$ 2 trillion money laundering and terror financing: The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists based its report on two million Suspicious Activity Reports filed by prestigious banks with Financial and Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The ICIJ report is just tip of the iceberg. Its revelations are based on `only 0.02% of the more than 12 million suspicious activity reports that financial institutions filed with FinCEN between 2011 and 2017’. The US banks who filed reports include Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, BNY Mellello, Citibank, Standard-Chartered and JP Morgan. The reasons mentioned in the reports include `high-risk jurisdiction for money laundering or other financial crimes, adverse media or public information on the client’, unidentified parties, and the fact that source of funds and purpose of transaction could not be ascertained’. Not only the banks but also the public and private sector companies were the culprits. They include Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Bhushan Steel Limited, Bharti Airtel and Essar. Heretofore is a bird’s-eye view of the findings.
Indian banks figure in over 2000 transactions, linked to Indian entities, valued at over US$ 1 billion (Rs. 7, 369 crore) between 2011 to 2017. These banks include State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Axis Bank, and Indus Ind Bank.
Open Question: While the ICIJ has shared the information with Buzzword and 108 other media outfits, India’s `Special Investigation Team on Black Money’ stays mum. The SIT was formed on the directions of India’s Supreme Court.
Inference: The FATF should undertake an even handed investigation to India’s multi-facetred money laundering and terror financing.
