trying to block FATF bills
Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday came down hard on opposition parties for creating hurdles in passing of crucial Financial Action Task Force (FATF) related bills in a joint session of Parliament. “I was expecting the opposition to thank us for this legislation. They should have appreciated at least a little. This is in Pakistan’s interest,” said the prime minister while addressing the session. Speaking about the consequences if Pakistan was enlisted in FATF’s black list, he said that the country would face dire consequences and might as well get penalised. “The attitude of the opposition today confirmed my views on opposition leaders,” he remarked. PM Imran said the interests of opposition leaders and interest of Pakistan were polar opposite. News Desk
