The Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday said Financial Action Task Force (FATF) lauded the measures taken by the government to eradicate money laundering and terrorism which is recognition of our sincere efforts.
In a tweet, she said that Pakistan was determined to take more steps in this regard, adding India failed in its nefarious designs to get Pakistan in blacklist.
She said when India tried to get Pakistan blacklisted, Prime Minister Imran Khan was making sincere efforts to bring forth the true and real image of Pakistan.
She said at this moment, those who opposed the creation of Pakistan were creating hurdles in achieving the destination of a stable Pakistan.
Pakistan was in the grey list and the next few months were very important, she said and asked why in this situation Moulana Fazlur Rehman with the militia and jathas wanted to become a symbol of terror and tarnish the identity and dignity of the country.
Later in the day, talking to journalists, she said that Prime Minister Khan has taken serious notice of price hike of essential commodities and sought suggestions from various ministries.
She said the Prime Minister directed to take steps for bringing down the prices of flour, adding the prime minister expressed dismay over increase in prices of sugar and asked provinces along with ministry of industry to keep the prices stable and take action against profiteers and hoarders.
The chief ministers were asked to establish farmer markets to end the role of middlemen so that consumers get relief in prices of vegetables, fruits and perishable items.
