India suffered another diplomatic setback in its bid to isolate Pakistan, failing to convince the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to re-add Pakistan to its grey list.

In contrast, Pakistan’s international standing continues to improve, with growing global trust in its efforts.

According to sources, India’s delegation lobbied intensely during the recent FATF meeting to have Pakistan grey-listed once again. However, the watchdog opted to keep Pakistan under its “enhanced monitoring” framework rather than placing it back on the grey list, delivering a major blow to India’s campaign.

The outcome represents a clear defeat for India’s efforts. During the session, China strongly defended Pakistan, calling for leniency, while Turkey and Japan also expressed firm support.

Sources revealed that following Operation Bunyān Marṣūṣ, India intensified its attempts to diplomatically isolate Pakistan, with the Indian intelligence agency RAW leading a propaganda campaign. RAW established a disinformation lab in New Delhi aimed at misleading the international community about Pakistan through fabricated narratives.

Indian diplomatic delegations traveled to various countries, spreading anti-Pakistan rhetoric, but their narrative found no traction globally. Despite India’s attempts, with alleged support from Israel, to weaponize FATF against Pakistan, member countries disregarded India’s negative propaganda.

Sources emphasized that Pakistan’s exclusion from the grey list, despite India’s concerted efforts, is a major diplomatic victory. Since Operation Bunyān Marṣūṣ, Pakistan’s diplomatic position has consistently strengthened.

The combined efforts of Hindutva and Zionist lobbies to push Pakistan onto the grey list also failed, marking another triumph for Pakistan on the diplomatic front.
