ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has strongly rejected all references and insinuations by the Indian leadership directed against it at the so-called ‘No Money for Terror’ Ministerial meeting held in New Delhi.

“Guided by its incorrigible and incurable desire to malign Pakistan at every available forum, India continues to mislead the world about Pakistan’s counter-terrorism credentials by repeatedly leveling false accusations of Pakistan’s alleged involvement in the financing of proscribed terrorist organizations,” Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said in a statement on Monday.

She said India’s hollow rhetoric had fallen flat in the face of Pakistan’s successful counterterrorism measures, which had been accorded due recognition and acknowledgment from the premier international body on counterterrorism, anti-money laundering and terror financing, i.e. the Financial Action Task Force.

She said Pakistan’s robust and credible AML/CFT actions, and satisfactory implementation of FATF Action Plans duly secured Pakistan’s successful removal off the Grey List, this October.

The spokesperson said regrettably, India was continuing its relentless terror campaign in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

“There is no justification for India’s state-sponsored terrorism in the occupied territory, where its security forces terrorize, torment and torture innocent Kashmiris with impunity, every day,” she added.

The spokesperson said India’s involvement in inciting terrorism inside Pakistan was widely established and documented.

“Pakistan urges upon the international community to hold India accountable for its actions in IIOJK, its patronage of terrorist entities, and for fomenting terror in neighboring countries.”
