Malik pens letter to FATF president asking him to remove Pakistan’s name from Grey list
|
[DailyTimes.pk] Former Interior Minister and Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior Senator A. Rehman Malik
Pak politician, Interior Minister under the Gilani government. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. He had to give up the interior ministry job because he held dual Brit citizenship.
today on Thursday has written a letter to Financial Action Task Force President Dr Marcus Pleyer, pleading him to remove Pakistain from FATF’s Grey List and take action against India for money laundering and terror-financing.
He Malik made the letter public while addressing a presser and said that he terms it a discriminatory treatment with Pakistain as compared to India for not proceeding against it despite of evidence.
Continued from Page 2
In his letter Senator A. Rehman Malik writes that he would like to refer to his earlier letters wherein it was requested to remove the name of Pakistain from the Grey List of FATF and take action against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for protecting international runaways involved in biggest ever credit fraud and money laundering. He stated that the people of Pakistain are justified to pose few questions from FATF as to why Pakistain is being dealt differently from India. These questions include India is sponsoring terrorism through heavy financing using RSS and ISIS in Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir . The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
and why is it being ignored and why India has not been made the subject of necessary legal action by FATF for its involvement in terror financing? He asked that why India has not been given similar 27 point action plans to be implemented by India? Why India is not made the subject of FATF of investigation? He questioned the President FATF that why FATF has not undertaken the investigation into the terror financing by India to ISIS? In another question, he asks why FATF has not picked up the matter of spying by India in the sovereign territory of Pakistain, which was financed by India and the living evidence is the arrest of Kulbhushan Yadav who was condemned by the competent court in Pakistain and why the terror financing to TTP and Afghan Taliban
 ...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
by India is being ignored by FATF?
Senator A. Rehman Malik stated that India was not charged with the same set of actions although it was involved in money laundering at the State level and there was irrefutable evidence against its involvement in money laundering but unlike Pakistain, the FATF chose not to investigate against India citing its limitations under FATF charter whereas these limitations were not applied on Pakistain.
"The most recent report of UN indicated the involvement of India in terror financing to ISIS, which has substantiated my allegations against India, as pointed out in my above referred letters", the letter reads. While referring to his earlier correspondence, he said that he had requested in his earlier letters for removal of Pakistain from the grey list in the wake of Coronavirus Pandemic outbreak and he would like to thank FATF for deferring the deadline as per his request.
He expressed that despite difficult circumstances during COVID-19, Pakistain followed directions of FATF and successfully complied with 21 out of 27 points of action including 16 Bills passed by the Parliament. He added that the people of Pakistain consider the actions of FATF against Pakistain as discriminatory whereas FATF is silent vis-à-vis India although there is irrefutable evidence against it for its involvement in the training of terrorists, terror financing and export of terrorism in the region, especially to Pakistain. He said that the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
report announced on 10 May 2019, clearly demonstrated that India has been financing ISIS which is very serious and warrants action by FATF.
Former Interior Minister in his letter highlights that it is quite alarming for Pakistain that India has established 87 training camps of ISIS out of which 66 training camps on the Afghan soil while 21 of these exist in India. He pressed that India is violating international law by financing and strengthening the ISIS, TTP and other terrorist organizations. India is using all these terrorist groups for terrorist activities in neighbouring countries using the soil of Afghanistan.
He wrote that the latest report of UNO on Pakistain clearly shows that how Pakistain had diligently, effectively and sincerely helped US War on Terror and had helped the international community to eliminate terrorism in the world adding the report of UNO is testimony that Pakistain is neither involved in terror financing nor in money laundering, hence FATF should consider to remove the name of Pakistain from the grey list in the best interest of natural justice. He said that the report of EU DisInfoLab is an eye-opener, which has exposed Indian designs to malign Pakistain through the creation of fake anti-Pakistain material. Unfortunately, this material was used against Pakistain at international level and this material likewise influenced FATF. Reportedly, India directly or indirectly used this material against Pakistain, which needs thorough investigation as to how India used FATF against Pakistain for its geopolitical ill-motives, he adds.
In his letter, he expresses "I would like to plead my questions before the FATF if I am given a chance either as a citizen of Pakistain or as a witness to brief FATF".
Senator A. Rehman Malik at the end of letter plead "I would once again like to request you to please remove Pakistain from the grey list as soon as possible keeping in view the contributions of Pakistain in the war on terror as well as national sufferings of Pakistain."
