In a statement on Saturday, Prime Minister welcomed the Financial Action Task Force’s acknowledgement that Pakistan has completed all the conditions set by the body to come out of the grey list. He felicitated the nation saying that it was a great achievement.

“By the grace of God, Pakistan’s return to the white list is a great achievement. I congratulate all government institutions, personalities and the concerned team whose efforts have become fruitful,” he added.

Sh Rashid gives credit to previous Imran govt, Army 

On the other hand, Awami Muslim League Chief Sheikh Rashid Ahmad has given the credit of country’s exit from the FATF grey list to the previous government of Imran Khan and Pakistan Army. 

In his tweet on Saturday, the former interior minister said: “It is hoped that Pakistan will be removed from the grey list before October. All the credit for this goes to Imran Khan's government, Pakistan Army and its affiliates. There is no importance and appreciation of current assemblies. Most of the ministers are on bails. No more than 50 ministers go to the assembly. They are dying to resume trade with India.” 

پوری امید ہے اکتوبر سے پہلے پاکستان گرے لسٹ سے نکل جائے گا۔جس کا سارا کریڈٹ عمران خان کی حکومت،پاک فوج اور ذیلی اداروں کو جاتا ہے۔موجودہ اسمبلیوں کی نہ کوئی اہمیت ہے اور نہ ہی کوئی پزیرائی ہے۔اکثریتی ضمانتوں پہ 50 وزیر بھی اسمبلی نہی جاتے۔یہ ھندوستان سے تجارت کے لیے مرے جارہے ہیں
