Janata Dal (United) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha has urged Singapore to push for inclusion of Pakistan on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) blacklist after meeting Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs Sim Ann.
During the meeting, Jha raised concerns over Pakistan's continued misuse of financial aid.
Speaking to ANI news agency: "We met the State Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the one important thing is the Financial Assistant Task Force, which has a grey and black list. Earlier, Pakistan was in the grey list. Singapore is a member of FATF."
"We requested that Pakistan be brought on the black list because whatever financial support it gets, its expenditure is on its defence or terrorism. There is no expense in development work," he said.
