Topic Description:

In the wake of the dastradly terror attack in Pulwama last week carried out by Pakistan based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad , India has upped the ante against Pakistan on the issue of terror funding by pushing to blacklist the neighbouring country at the plenary meeting of the anti terror finance watchdog Financial Action Task Force , FATF being held in Paris .

Pakistan was placed on the FATF grey list in June , 2018 and put on notice to be blacklisted by October this year if it did not curb money laundering and terror financing . Pakistan was then given a 27 point action plan that was to be implemented by September this year and the same is being monitored by FATF Asia Pacific sub group.
