In another setback to Pakistan after the Pulwama terror attack on CRPF jawans, FATF has slammed their 'limited progress' in curbing terror funding setting up May 2019 as a deadline for the completion of the action plan.

In a statement, the FATF said: "Due to the limited progress on action plan item due in January 2019, the FATF urges Pakistan to swiftly complete its action plan, particularly those with the timeliness of May 2019".

In a strong statement, FATF said that although Pakistan made a 'high level political commitment' to address its counter terrorist funding related deficiencies, it didn't demonstrate a proper action against terror outfits like JuD, LeT, JeM and Taliban.

Actions from FATF may lead to "downgrading" of Pakistan by global lenders such as IMF, World Bank, Asian Development Bank and European Union.

In a desperate move on Thursday, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday 'reinstated' ban on Hafeez Saeed-led Jama'at-ud-Da'wah (JuD).
