Pakistan's dangerous conspiracy: entry of terrorist organizations into politics

Crop despite FATF proceedings. Not ready to improve

Terrorist Hafiz Saeed's party, the Milli Muslim League, was also allowed to contest the election, with several organizations lined up.

Islamabad: Pakistan has been again placed on the gray list by the FATF. Yet Pakistan does not want to reform and is now strategizing to allow terrorists to enter politics directly. According to a report, Pakistan is going to give political identity to any major terrorist organization.

In doing so, Pakistan will also try to make these terrorist organizations look good at the international level. So as to avoid the FATF's gray list. While the FATFA has demanded that strict action be taken against such terrorist organizations and terrorists. The FATF could take more drastic action against Pakistan, especially if it does not take action against terrorist organizations banned by the United Nations.

No action was taken by the Pakistan government in 2017 when Hafiz Saeed, accused in the Mumbai attacks, tried to declare it a political party by forming sub-organizations of Jamaat-ud-Dawa. Hafiz formed the Milli Muslim League.

However, the people did not vote for him and neither of his candidates won the election. Such organizations are entering politics directly without abandoning terrorist activity or ideology, which can have a detrimental effect on Pakistan's politics and democracy.
