If Pakistan removed from FATF grey list, credit should only go to Imran Khan: Gill

  • Shahbaz Gill says “so-called Ahsan Aristotle cannot claim the credit for getting Pakistan off the grey list”.
  • He says PTI govt worked hard for three years to get Pakistan off grey list.
  • Says nation is about to hear good news regarding Pakistan’s status on FATF’s list.

PTI leader and former special assistant to the prime minister on political communication Shehbaz Gill criticised the incumbent government and said that while the economy is suffering because of its policies, the nation is also hearing some “good news” because of the efforts of the previous government. 

The PTI leader was referring to Pakistan’s status on the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) grey list and said that the previous government had to make some tough decisions to get off the list. 

“To that end, Imran Khan formed a team under the leadership of Hammad Azhar and after constantly working hard for three years, Pakistan is on its way to being removed from the FATF grey list now,” Gill said. 

Taking a jibe at the Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal, Gill said that the so-called “Ahsan Aristotle” cannot claim the credit for getting Pakistan off the grey list. 

“President Arif Alvi had already written a letter to the chief justice of Pakistan in this regard,” he maintained, adding that the credit for this achievement solely goes to the PTI-led government and Imran Khan and no one else. 

Pakistan was placed on the FATF list of countries under increased monitoring in June 2018. The country has implemented almost all points of the FATF Action Plan, except for the penalties, and has made prosecutions and all relevant legal amendments.

He stated that this was carried out with the owners of the IPPs’ mutual approval while presiding over today’s federal cabinet meeting in Islamabad.

The Prime Minister notified the Cabinet that no interest will be paid; only the remaining sums owed to these IPPs will be settled.

He emphasized that breaking these contracts will benefit the national exchequer by around 411 billion rupees and save power users roughly sixty billion rupees.

Shehbaz Sharif claimed that it was the result of the government team’s tireless efforts working together. In this regard, he acknowledged the associated parties’ contributions and support as well. In particular, he brought up General Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff, who showed a personal interest in the entire situation.

The Prime Minister explained that the breakthrough marked the start of a path that will ultimately lead to the wealth and advancement of the populace.

Shehbaz Sharif also brought up the assistance given to power users in the summer by the Punjabi and Federal governments.

The prime minister expressed happiness that the economy is steadily approaching stability. He made note of the fact that remittances for the first quarter reached a record-breaking $8.8 billion. This indicates that Pakistan’s economy is progressing, he remarked.

The administration, according to Shehbaz Sharif, also took action to lower the inflation, which is currently only one digit. He said that this was the PML-N’s election manifesto pledge being fulfilled.
