Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on October 22 accused Pakistan of continuing to shelter terror groups and failing to act against UN-designated terrorists such as Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar and Dawood Ibrahim, reports Hindustan Times. MEA spokesperson Anurag Srivastava told a weekly news briefing, “As is well known, Pakistan continues to provide safe havens to terrorist entities and individuals and has also not yet taken any action against several terrorist entities and individuals, including those proscribed by the UN Security Council, such as [JeM chief] Masood Azhar, Dawood Ibrahim and (Lashkar-e-Taiba operations commander) Zakirur Rahman Lakhvi.” Referring to Financial Action Task Force (FATF), he said that Pakistan had addressed only 21 of the 27 items in an action plan given by FATF to curb terror financing and money laundering. “It is understood that Pakistan has addressed only 21 action items so far out of the total 27 points in FATF’s action plan. Six important action items are yet to be addressed,” he said. He, however, did not identified the six items.
