Introduction
FATF ( Financial Action Task Force ) was ready to finance Pakistan upon hearing the declaration that Pakistan has been very candid and successful in parting company with the infamous cleric cum terror mastermind Hafiz Saeed. It was a piece of welcome news for the neighbouring countries that finally, Pakistan is obliging the international pressure to stop harbouring these rogue terror outfits and the dangerous leader. To receive the cash from the World Bank for the sentencing of Hafiz Saeed; was a bluff.
The Government of Pakistan declared this falsified and concocted version of a lie to avoid economic sanctions by the wast.
Reasons for this falsehood
Pakistan has become an acute economic failure, and the country is likely to face economic sanctions for its dubious and duplicitous role in harbouring multi-faceted terror organisations. They are accused of using these killing machines to work covertly to ascertain Pakistan’s so-called interests. They are spreading the terror to the peace-loving billions of population living within the closest proximity. Pakistan was going to rub a ball of cotton wool around the eyes of the FATF.
Pakistan threw this seasonal charade to obscure their hidden agenda and give an eyewash to receive the money by deceiving. The country was unsure whether the FATF would allow further bailout funding for the coffers of Pakistan amid the sudden change of power.
Background
The notorious cleric Saeed has a bounty of $1 million from the USA. He has been engaged in a protracted reign of terror against USA assets and human resources for a very long period. He is also the mastermind of the Mumbai attack in the past, where circa 170 people were killed mindlessly.
The Pakistani state always sheltered hafiz, and Saeed has been using a charity umbrella to hide his heinous activities.
Repercussion
Due to the US establishment’s fear of sanction and constant observation, Pakistan had to investigate him, and the sentencing was part of that whitewash.

South Asia comprises countries that make up the southern region of the continent of Asia. Southern Asia is bordered to the south by the Indian Ocean, to the west by West Asia, and to the South by Southern Asia. The countries that makeup South Asia include Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Bhutan, and the Maldives. South Asia’s history can be traced back to four stages. The first stage is the ancient era that dates back to 3300 BCE through 1300 BCE, when the Indus Valley Civilisation began to spread in the northwestern parts of South Asia.
The second stage is the classical era when Indo-Iranian speaking pastoralists (nomadic herders) migrated into the area from central Asia. The third stage was the medieval period when Islam came to South Asia through Muhammad’s conquest of Sindh and Multan. The final step is the current modern era which began in the 18th Century when the British East India Company had control over most of Asia to the 20th Century when most countries gained independence. South Asia has a population of around 1.8 billion people.
