this is a good move, but let us not forget that it is a regional finding. The call taken by the FATF headquarters in Paris is of importance. But this is certainly not good news for Pakistan. Whether the FATF will finally outlaw the nation by putting on the banned list, would depend on the political circumstances of the day. There is no doubt that Pakistan is in trouble and its terror financers are being monitored closely by the global community. India needs to keep the heat on.
