Story so far: In a rare show of condemnation, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), on June 16, 2025, stated that the Pahalgam terror “could not occur without money and the means to move funds between terrorist supporters”. FATF’s has released such a statement only twice in this decade -- for the Paris terror attack (2015) and the Pulwama attack (2019). The terror watchdog’s stern stance has given hope for India to push its case to bring Pakistan back into the ‘grey list’ for violating the FATF’s policy on terror-funding.
