India's bid to isolate Pakistan at FATF fails
Listen to article India's efforts to push Pakistan back onto the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list have once again failed, as the money laundering watchdog opted instead to keep the country under a "reporting" mechanism rather than downgrading its status, informed sources have revealed. Pakistan was placed on the FATF's increased monitoring list (also known as the grey list) in 2018 due to concerns about its anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CFT) frameworks. However, in October 2022, the country was removed from the grey list following significant improvements and the completion of action items related to AML/CFT. During the latest FATF meeting, the Indian delegation actively lobbied to reinsert Pakistan into the grey list. However, China supported Pakistan, advocating for relief, while Turkey and Japan also extended their full backing. Sources said FATF opted instead to keep the country under a "reporting" mechanism rather than downgrading its status. They further indicated that India, with backing from Israel, sought to use the FATF platform to pressure Pakistan. However, member states dismissed New Delhi's attempts as negative propaganda, choosing instead to recognise Islamabad's progress. Following Operation Bunyamum Marsoos, Indian diplomatic missions had intensified campaigns against Pakistan in various countries but New Delhi's narrative failed to gain traction internationally. Meanwhile, Federal Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb remarked that India has once again faced diplomatic failure on the global stage. He said the World Bank has approved a loan for the development of the Reko Diq mining project in Pakistan. The FATF is the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog. It sets international standards that aim to prevent these illegal activities and the harm they cause to society.

Sectarianism stoked to block Islamic rule: Fazl
JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has claimed that certain forces stoke the flames of sectarianism to sow discord among religious scholars of different schools of thought whenever calls are made for the imposition of an Islamic system in the country. "There are sectarian organisations in the country, but they fight each other only at the behest of some forces. Sectarianism is fanned whenever people raise their voice for an Islamic system," said Fazl on Saturday while addressing a digital media convention in the country's economic hub. Denouncing the official moon-sighting system, Fazl noted that the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee has been operating without a legal framework, and attempts to access its founding documents or minutes have led nowhere. He said if there were a proper law in place, it would lead to accountability. "But the lack of legislation allows disputes among scholars over moon sighting to escalate into larger issues," he added. Fazl lamented that no code of conduct had been developed over the past 77 years regarding Muharram processions, calling it a deliberate omission intended to pit religious groups against one another. "At the state level, such measures are taken to keep religious factions in conflict," he said. He also criticised those who advocate a wall of separation between religion and state, arguing that religion is blamed too quickly for disorder. "However, sectarianism alone is not the sole cause of discord in the country. Ethnicity, provincialism, regionalism, and similar factors also contribute to unrest. At times, conflicts between Baloch and Pashtuns, Sindhis and Mohajirs, and other groups have led to disorder," he said. He said there has never been any dispute over the Objectives Resolution, and all schools of thought are united on the Islamic provisions of the Constitution. Fazl said the Constitution clearly states that no law can be made in the country that contradicts with teachings of Islam and its sharia. However, laws, according to him, are being made on the instruction of the International Monetary Fund, the Financial Action Task Force and the United Nations. In this regard, he cited the example of the recent passage of a bill banning marriage under the age of 18 in Islamabad and said the religion does not impose any such restrictions. Fazl said nowadays, highlighting vices is being considered news, especially when it comes to politicians. "One should not go around searching for people's faults and mistakes; this is a grave sin. When a person pursues someone to exploit their weaknesses, it is highly condemnable," he added. According to the JUI-F chief, some institutions running on our tax money sit in their offices and fabricate lies about politicians. He said in the media that the search for news and the effort to find good stories are natural. "However, it is also essential to avoid evil and to distinguish between what is halal and haram."

AMLA: minister says FBR powers to be reviewed
ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said Saturday that the issuance of notices to the business community under Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) is a very serious matter and the government would review AML powers available to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). During review of the Finance Bill (2025-26) at the Senate Standing Committee on Finance on Saturday, Chairman of the committee Senator Salim Mandviwala took up the issue of AML notices to the taxpayers by the FBR. The issue came to the light when FBR Member Customs (Policy) explained creation of proposed Directorate General of Intelligence and Risk Management Customs under the Finance Bill 2025-26. The proposed Directorate would have the powers to exercise under the AML Act. FBR makes first major 'Benami Property' seizure in Islamabad, vows to expand crackdown Salim Mandviwala expressed serious concern over the powers to the Directorate General of Intelligence and Risk Management Customs for taking action against taxpayers under the AML law. 'We have received many complaints on issuance of illegal notices to the business community under the AML', he said. All these notices issued in the past were withdrawn on the intervention of the Senate Standing Committee on Finance. These powers should not be given to the FBR officials as they were misused in the past, Mandviwala said. Finance Minister assured the committee that it would look into the matter and would examine FBR powers under the AML law. In a landmark move, the committee approved sweeping amendments to the Customs Act, 1969, targeting the issue of tempered and tampered chassis vehicles. As per the new law, any vehicle found with tampered chassis number, Cut-and-weld modifications or Re-stamped chassis will be presumed smuggled even if registered with any Motor Registration Authority. FBR Chairman Langrial clarified that such vehicles will be confiscated and destroyed. They won't be auctioned again. 'In principle, these vehicles should be set on fire to avoid resale of parts.' The Standing Committee recommended that the confiscation and destruction of such vehicles must occur within 30 days of seizure. FBR Chairman said that the tampered vehicles cannot be allowed to be auctioned. Even if the tempered vehicles have been registered by the Motor Registration Authority, they are liable to be confiscation. Chairman of the committee asked FBR to share number of confiscated vehicles used by the customs officials. A committee member questioned that why customs department collected duties and taxes on tempered vehicles during legalization of non-duty paid cars under the last amnesty scheme. FBR Member Customs explained that new section ('187A. Presumption as to legal character of vehicle), any vehicle is detained or seized under this Act or the rules made there under and such vehicle upon forensic examination is found to be having a tampered chassis number or cut and weld chassis or chassis number filled with welding material or re-stamped or body changed, such vehicle shall be presumed to be smuggled, even if registered with any Motor Registration Authority, and shall be liable to confiscation.
