The most recent USA country report is basically another
bombshell to be used in FATF against Pakistan whereas it should have not issued
such a biased report when there’s already a proceeding going on against
Pakistan in FATF. We have been exploited by USA every time that we stand in
this worst situation at this point of history. We made a blunder to jump into
Afghan Jihad War against Soviet Union upon USA’s call. This gulped down our all
factions of society because of the strong pro Jihad propaganda by USA. I got a
chance to meet these Jihadis from Pakistan and all over the world when I was
travelling undercover through Afghanistan and passed through rugged mountains
during the war of Afghan Taliban vs Northern Alliance. I noticed there young
and old Pakistanis waiting to go to fight on advance positions. Although they
were not even familiar with the modern weapons and technology, but they were
motivated enough to get killed come what may as per their brain washing.
It was the USA which converted their immature mindsets into
Jehadi mentality in order to use them against Soviet Union. Now the same
Jihadis are running some of the Madrassas that preach nothing violence against
humanity which is contrary to the principles of Islam. This Jihadism was
America’s own creation because of which, we are suffering today. Unfortunately,
today we are dragged in the FATF because as per America's will, we extended
support to these Jihadis who have now turned into monsters post Afghan war.
It is merely an injustice to Pakistan for being dragged
before FATF like a criminal whereas in actuality, it was President Bush who
should have been facing trial as war criminal for the creation of Jihadists and
mass killing in Afghanistan. Hence, I had been persistently advocating to the
government and to the world that USA will not let Pakistan come out of the
FATF’S grey list and will continue to pressurise FATF to keep Pakistan in the
grey list. This latest country report by the USA will also be now placed before
FATF as yet another fake evidence. We are only being punished by the USA
because of our friendship with China, Pak China corridors & our stance
against India under RSS.
We are also suffering because of the failure of Afghan-US dialogue
which is wrongly attributed towards us as we want to see peaceful Afghanistan
for which Pakistan is extending its full support to the USA in their dialogue
between USA and Afghan Taliban. The US State Department’s Country Report on
Terrorism 2018 has come up with disappointment for Pakistan as it is highly
biased and illogical wherein the real situation on the ground and the supreme
sacrifices of Pakistani troops and civilians rendered in war against terrorism
are absolutely ignored. Despite of the apparent cordial meeting between US
Donald Trump and Prime Minster Imran Khan on the United Nations General
Assembly forum, Pakistan was expecting better and improved relations with USA
whereas USA released an anti-Pak report instead which has come up as a shocking
development for every Pakistani.
A large number of Pakistanis feel that PM Modi was not
courageous enough to change the status of Kashmir against the UN resolution but
within days of his return from the White House, USA he scraped the legal status
of Kashmir whereas we find no particular efforts from USA Govt to force India
to lift curfew by restoring the original legal status of IOK. Basically, we
have now become the victim of 5th generation warfare and the major factor is
economy which is being hit through FATF to cripple our Economic growth as I
strongly believe that FATF drama has been engineered only to cripple our
growing economy & to block our overseas investments.
In reality, the steady growth of economy is being further
crippled by FATF & IMF and this Economic destabilisation is only due to the
fact that we always bow before the IMF which is successfully ensuring to add
more burden on common people of our country with non-stop price hike and
consecutive increase in prices of Petroleum products. I am stating it on record
that India will continue to feed USA negatively on Pak on fabricated plots, and
Pakistan will continue to face the negative hammering from White House and the
demand of do more syndrome will never come to end.
The people of Pakistan has the right to ask the USA
administration as to why has the USA turned blind eye towards the brutalities
and religious extremist acts of Indian ruling party BJP’s extremist wing RSS
under PM Modi which is involved in terrorist activities against minorities across
India particularly Kashmir.
The US State Department recent Report clearly indicates that
it is an anti-Pakistan move by US to please India. The report states “Pakistan
did not take sufficient action against externally focused groups such as
Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), which continued to operate,
train, organise, and fundraise in Pakistan.
The Pakistani government pledged support for political
reconciliation between the Afghan government and the Afghan Taliban but did not
restrict the Afghan Taliban and HQN from operating in Pakistan and threatening
US and Afghan forces in Afghanistan. This is factually wrong as these two
networks are also the byproducts of Afghan war, including HQN and were
nourished by American funding spent in Afghan -war. These two Pak networks were
banned by me as Interior Minister. In June 2018, the FATF placed Pakistan on
its list of jurisdictions with strategic deficiencies (the “grey list”) for
deficiencies in its AML/CFT regimes, including the failure to implement UN
sanctions related to designated entities.” The careful examination of the above
allegations shows that the allegations are nothing but an attempt to re-enforce
the old blame & replication of demand of USA “to do more”.
I, in my article ‘Do more Pakistan’ syndromes of USA on
August 20, 2017, stated that do more syndrome by President Donald Trump is not
going to stop this demand as there is continuity of re-enforcement of
negativity against Pakistan by India in the White House and other allied
institutions of USA. These organisation in question earlier fought against
Russia with the total financial and armed support of USA.
In fact, US itself was responsible for the creation&
funding of all these Jihadi organisations in Pakistan and US owes an
explanation to the world as to how and from where these jihadi organisations
were supported and financed with full money trail.
Can USA present the money trail of wars in Afghanistan, Iraq,
Syria, Cuba and many others countries CIA dirty operation before questioning
Pakistan in FATF? Will the American White House make the details of the meeting
between William J. Casey Director CIA, Gen Ziaul Haq and Gen Akhter Abdur
Rehman public which was held before launching Afghan war at a secret location?
Also what mode of funding was created to finance Afghan war and who were the
ones who got benefited from Afghan - Jihad dollars via a beach city of France
namely Marseille? The track of Afghan Jihad money will lead the investigators
directly to Switzerland and many from USA & Pakistan will be in great
trouble.
Will USA unveil the details of expenditure of these wars in
supporting jihadists as well as the creation of these organisations, including
Haqqani network and other splinter groups, including Northern alliance during
and after Afghan war? I am sure Victor Bout a famous Russian low flying captain
will speak one day after his release from USA jail as to who was his master
that made him drop the arms in Afghanistan and many other war ridden countries
in Africa. I will write on it later sometimes. I really feel bad that USA used
Pakistan in war on terror and now it is punishing us at this point of time
which is not understandable.
The then Secretory State Hillary Clinton had already accepted
that USA funded Taliban and even Al-Qaeda. I am sure that the government of
Pakistan will ask FATF to summon the former Secretaries of State and the then
former US Presidents to justify and confirm the authenticity of the statement
carried out by the two secretary of states. The president ordering war through
Jihadists in Afghanistan against Russia needs to justify as to what means were
used to finance these Jihadists in Afghanistan.
The US State Department’s Country Report on Terrorism 2018 is
contrary to the facts in which the real situation on the ground and the supreme
sacrifices of Pakistani troops and civilians rendered in war against terrorism
are ignored. As a matter of fact, no country had done more than Pakistan to
curb terrorism and no country had suffered as much as Pakistan, both in terms
of loss of human lives and damage to infrastructure, in the war against
terrorism and extremism. Pakistani Forces in daring operations against
terrorism have uprooted al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations from the
country and have successfully dismantled terrorist network which are being
supported by neighbouring countries to create instability in Pakistan.
Along with sacrifices of more than 70,000 of its troops and
civilians, Pakistan has been taking numerous legal and administrative measures
against terrorism and all parties above their political differences sat
together and formulated National Action Plan (NAP) to curb terrorism from its
roots. US should well realise that rather Pakistan, India is a hub of
terrorists and has been sending its terrorist to Pakistan which is evident from
the arrest of Kulbhushan Yadav who is still in the custody of Pakistan.
He had confessed that he was RAW operator since 2013 end and
ever since he has been directing various activities in Balochistan and Karachi
at the behest of RAW and deteriorating law and order situation in Karachi,
Pakistan. This is no secret that India’s Intelligence Agency Research and
Analysis Wing (RAW) is working in collaboration with the Afghanistan’s
Intelligence Agency, National Directorate of Security (NDS), for creating
instability and hostility in Balochistan and Fata, yet no action against India
has been initiated by US and United Nations. US, the international community
and particularly the Financial Action Task Force not to fall prey to Indian
propaganda against Pakistan.
The trend and the anti-Pakistan signals demonstrated in the
report clearly show that FATF is not going to take Pakistan out of the grey
list unless Pakistan embarrass FATF in its discrimination with Pakistan and
Pakistan will have to do this for its survival in the economic world.
The continuity of Pakistan in grey list will bring huge
financial problems for Pakistan which is already passing through financial
crisis. I hope the Government of Pakistan will take some sensible, pragmatic
and evidence based measures before the FATF with the help of China which has
already warned member countries not to politicise FATF and not use the forum
against Pakistan. China has clearly stated, “China does not want the FATF to be
politicised by any single country. There are some countries which want to
include Pakistan in the blacklist as they have political designs with ulterior
motives against Pakistan.
