More in news
  • Strong, irreversible steps: MEA Spokesperson said Islamabad should take irreversible steps against the groups that are responsible for incidents like the 26/11 Mumbai attack.
  • False claims and cosmetic steps taken by Pakistan:
    (1) This claim that they have taken steps against terrorists and terrorist outfits is contradictory to their previous stand in reference to terrorists against whom India demanded action.
    (2) Pakistan just trying to show the international community that they are taking some action against terrorist groups operating from their soil.
  • FATF fear: The steps against the terror outfits were undertaken just days after Pakistan faced the heat at the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) and barely escaped from being blacklisted.
