One stood wearing an ajrak pocket square, swayed by passionate desk-thumping as he made the mockery of parliamentary norms and became downright personal in his digs at the “learned member form Multan.” The other went a little too far in defending his country’s budget; calling a party supremo a “baby.” The latest to add to Islamabad’s ruckus were PPP’s Chairman, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, and Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi. As if the bit of parliamentary argy-bargy was not enough, the two seem to have taken their clash to the world of tweets. It clearly must have taken some winks for the FM to realise what Bilawal had accused him of. The last three days have been hostage to a fierce debate between them and their supporters on Twitter.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Saturday criticized the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) after it retained the country on its grey list despite completing the work on 26 out of 27 points of the action plan given in 2018.
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, in a statement, questioned the decision of the FATF, saying “it is to be determined whether FATF is a political forum or a technical one and whether it is being used to achieve political objectives.
The FATF, after a five-day plenary meeting, appreciated on Friday Pakistan s progress and efforts to address items on its country action plan and announced to keep the country on its grey list till it addressed the one remaining CFT-related item . It has also handed the government six new anti-money laundering areas to work on.
