The special assistant said that state within state cannot be formed.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan on Sunday has said that Financial Action Task Force (FATF) president had lauded Pakistan’s efforts for curbing money laundering and terrorism.

In a tweet, the special assistant said that the international community has accepted sincere commitments of Pakistan to improve the status of the country. The incumbent government is determined to take more steps for the betterment of the people, she added.

The nefarious plan of Indian government to include Pakistan in FATF’s blacklist has fallen flat on its face, she added.

Earlier, Dr Firdous clarified that exploitation of people under the garb of religion will not be allowed, adding that state within the state cannot be formed. Protest is democratic and basic right of every citizen and government supports it, but it will not permit anyone to take law into own hands, she added.

She said Prime Minister Imran Khan has taken notice of rising inflation and directed to take strict action against profiteers and hoarders. The government is committed to protect the rights of the masses, she stated.

Meanwhile, the SAPM Awan said the Prime Minister - while chairing another meeting - directed to prepare a database of properties of Evacuee Trust Property Board in order to make best utilization of these.

She expressed federal and provincial governments will work together to devise a strategy regarding the Auqaf properties.

Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said that the claim of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif to improve the economy within six months is similar to his past statements to end loadshedding in three months and to drag Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Zardari on roads.

She said the PML-N and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) leaders and their companions do not have any interest in the plight of the people.
