With the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) set to discuss a report on the progress made by Pakistan on the implementation of a 27-point action plan this week, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on June 22 alleged that previous Governments did not take steps to curb money laundering and terrorist financing in the country, reports The Express Tribune. FATF placed Pakistan on the grey list in June 2018 and asked Islamabad to implement a plan of action to curb money laundering and terror financing by the end of 2019 but the deadline was extended later on due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Qureshi said that the previous Government of Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) was responsible for the country being placed on the grey list of the FATF. "When PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf) came to power, Pakistan had already gone into the (FAFT) grey list," Qureshi said. Holding the PML-N responsible for the tough conditions set by FATF, he said that no previous government took steps to curb money laundering and terrorist financing. The minister said that nations faced pressures in these situations so "we should (also) bear this pressure."
