Gandapur slams Modi, promises FATF case against India

(Web Desk): Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, in a video message, announced plans to take action against India at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

In a strongly worded statement, he directly addressed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying, “Modi, I am not a coward like you who comes in the darkness of night—we come with slogans, we come announcing ourselves.”

Gandapur said India misrepresenting his statements in an effort to push Pakistan back onto the FATF grey list. He declared that India manipulated his words and launched a disinformation campaign aimed at harming Pakistan’s global standing.

He further said, “Modi, I am sending you a message—we are not cowards like you who operate in the dark. We confront the enemy openly.” Gandapur vowed to present evidence on international forums to prove that India fully qualifies to be placed on the FATF grey list. He accused India of ongoing involvement in terrorism across Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, and other parts of the region.

Gandapur also claimed that during the Afghan war, India opened over 100 consulates to fuel terrorism inside Pakistan. He linked attacks on Chinese nationals and infrastructure in Pakistan directly to Indian involvement.

He emphasized that the Pakistani government, armed forces, public, and the entire nation are united in defending the country and will strongly counter India’s false propaganda on all fronts.

It is worth noting that on October 21, 2022, after nearly 52 months, Pakistan was officially removed from the FATF grey list.

Meanwhile, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Advisor on Information, Barrister Saif, also strongly reacted to India’s misrepresentation of Gandapur’s statement. He asserted that India’s dream of putting Pakistan back on the grey list will never come true.

Saif pointed to Indian spy Kulbhushan Jadhav as clear proof of Indian terrorism in Pakistan and claimed that there is solid evidence of India’s terror activities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He stressed that Pakistan must present this evidence before FATF authorities.

Barrister Saif also stated that, after military setbacks, India has resorted to underhanded tactics and conspiracy, but despite growing Indian plots, Pakistan’s defense capabilities and resolve remain strong.
