ISLAMABAD, Mar 09 (APP):Finance Minister Asad Umar has asked President of Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Marshall Billingslea to appoint any other member of FATF as co-chair of the Asia-Pacific Joint Group, in place of India, to ensure that FATF review process was fair, unbiased and objective.
The minister, in a letter to the FATF president, said India’s animosity towards Pakistan was well known. The recent violation of Pakistan’s airspace and dropping of bombs inside its territory was another manifestation of India’s hostile attitude.
He referred to a statement of the Indian finance minister regarding efforts for global isolation of Pakistan and the Indian call for blacklisting of Pakistan during the International Cooperation Review Group (ICRG) meeting on February 18, 2019, which demonstrated Indian intentions to hurt Pakistan’s economic interests.
