Despite being dropped off the grey list by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), Pakistan would continue to be under the scanner of the Paris-based global terrorism watchdog. The FATF would continue to keep pressure on Pakistan to ensure that it takes credible action to curb terror activities in the "AfPak (Afghanistan-Pakistan) region". Sources told The Sunday Guardian that the global terror financing and money laundering watchdog has given this assurance to India through diplomatic channels. "India is working closely with the FATF, by bringing to its notice various evidence based reports that terror activities are growing in Pakistan and Afghanistan,” sources said.
