Nothing happened just like almost everything else he promised. You know the list of things he promised but failed to deliver. His fans here will still continue to cover his shortcomings.

We need proper and professional English channels to get our point scross to the world. This is where we are lagging behind countries like India who are well ahead of us in media war. The world listens to them because they speak their language thereby convincing them of their propaganda. Today war's are fought as much on the media as they are in battlefields. We have anchors like Mubashar Luqman with second class English speaking skills unable to get even one English sentence correct. We all know India is involved in terror activities in Pak and Afghanistan, they don't have a leg to stand on. If IoK is so free then lets see Modi make a speech their like IK did in AJK some days back.

The issue is not how the message is delivered. India and the West are moving closer together due to a convergence of interests. They are democracies that oppose an aggressive Communist run China, and also have been targeted by terrorists.

Countries are going to listen to you when their interests match yours, otherwise your arguments will fall on deaf ears.

It's almost like you are saying that when you and other Indians argue that West doesn't buy Pakistan's proof against Indian terrorism, that that's a bogus argument because they have converging interests.

The views expressed by Moeed Yusuf are so far apart from the Government of India's views that it should be obvious that there will be no productive talks between the two nations unless something changes.

Pakistan is steadily falling behind economically, so it is more in Pakistan's interests that the security environment of the region be improved so that it can get the FDI needed for development.

Pakistan's complaints about phone hacking, alleged Indian terror financing etc. to other countries and international institutions has had a minimal impact on India. It is all about economics now, and the economically powerful countries dismiss such complaints. At this point, the only economically powerful country in Pakistan's corner is China, but given that China runs a trade surplus with India, it is not going to take economic measures against India.

For its own sake, Pakistan needs to change its attitude and take actions that will improve the security environment. It is not an issue of who is right and who is wrong on Kashmir etc., it is simply in Pakistan's self-interest to do whatever will improve the situation rather than expecting India to change.

Agreed, economics governs the very world we live in.

Unfortunately, countries with a lot of economic power are often let off with simple warnings about the inhumane activities they do, as seen with China and the Muslim torture camps they continue to run.

Countries will only listen to Pakistan if they have something to offer, and right now, our best interests should be focusing on reviving our economic growth.

It is not surprising to see our government still engaged in this cat and mouse chase with India, though it is extremely childish as to what extent Pakistan will go to just to defame India.

We should understand that our priorities are different.

Of course we need English speaking channels. Indian media is much more powerful then what we have. There anchors are much more professional then anything we have. It is for us to convince at least Muslim countries that India is the instigator or terrorism in Pak and Afghanistan. Often we don't know what own our interests are because our political parties are never united.

the world is no longer interested in this concept of religious identity anymore. It is all about economy and trade interests.
Most countries try to focus on themselves now and strategise foreign policy on the basis of economic advantage.
Whether this is good or bad depends upon what you care about most but the lesson with Middle East countries is out there for all to see.

Also I wouldn’t call Indian media as professional as all of them are political outlets.

Same story all over the world. The US media is extremely biased, either in favor of the Dems or the Repubs.

As long as govt controls media, it will always be like this. But then again, uncontrolled media will be a monster of its own.

India and FATF

from last year 2020.

It is no secret that the major powers’ geopolitical and economic interests have forced them to ignore suspicious financial transactions by India.

It was not very long ago, that the. US Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs Anthony Wayne told the Senate Banking Committee that in India, two accounts belonging to terrorist individuals/entities had been identified. However, the Indian government has not fA recent document-based report by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has blown the lid off the suspicious financial transactions by Indian banks, public and private sector companies.

The ICIJ report based on Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) files represent less than 0.02 per cent of the more than 12 million suspicious activity reports that financial institutions filed with FinCEN between 2011 and 2017.

Not only banks but public and private sector companies were also the culprits. They include Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, Bhushan Steel Limited, Bharti Airtel and Essar.

In a bird’s eye view of the findings, Indian banks figure in over 2,000 transactions, linked to Indian entities, valued at over one billion dollars between 2011 and 2017. These banks include the State Bank of India, Punjab National Bank, Canara Bank, HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Axis Bank and IndusInd Bank.

Earlier, a study conducted by Conflict Armament Research had confirmed that seven Indian companies were involved in the supply chain of over 700 components, including fuses or detonating cords used by the so-called Islamic State to construct improvised explosive devices.rozen any assets to date even though it is aware of the UN 1267 Committee List.

Wayne noted that India’s Prevention of Money Laundering Act criminalises money laundering and requires banks and other financial institutions and intermediaries to report individual transactions valued at over $23,000 to the financial-investigation unit.
