Pakistan’s sentencing of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi ‘farcical’: India Geeta Mohan
India s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has termed the sentencing of UN-designated terrorist Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi by Pakistan as farcical .
A Pakistan court on Friday sentenced Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, a senior member of terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), to five years in prison for terror financing activities.
It may be noted that Pakistan s case is up for review at the meeting of the Asia/Pacific Group (APG) and FATF plenary to be held next month. The timing of these actions clearly suggest the intention of conveying a sense of compliance ahead of the next APG meeting and the next FATF plenary in February 2021. It has become routine for Pakistan to come up with such farcical actions prior meetings, Srivastava said.
Dr A K Abdul Momen said that the first consignment of the vaccine co-manufactured by India's Serum Institute is expected to reach Bangladesh towards the end of January.
