India to Push FATF for Pakistan's Return to Grey List Citing Terror Financing Concerns
India plans to urge the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to place Pakistan back on its Grey List at the October plenary, citing evidence of continued support for terrorist groups, including videos linked to Operation Sindoor. Pakistan was removed from the list in October 2022 after implementing a 34-point action plan. India emphasizes that FATF's work is technical and evidence-based, urging countries under scrutiny to comply rather than question the watchdog's credibility, indirectly referencing Pakistan's alleged misuse of territory for terrorism.
