The&nbsp;Financial Action Task Force or the&nbsp;FATF, the world&rsquo;s top anti-terrorism monitoring group, on Friday voted to keep Pakistan on a grey list for the Imran Khan government&rsquo;s&nbsp;failure to fully comply&nbsp;with a 27-point action plan handed to it earlier.
The FATF&nbsp;said that not only have more than 4,000 terrorists gone missing&nbsp;from Pakistani government's records but the country has also taken in India's most wanted terrorists,&nbsp;Masood Azhar and Hafiz Saeed.
The latest decision comes as a huge setback for Imran Khan who had made efforts in the run-up to the virtual meeting of the FATF plenary to get his country off-the-hook. It could also mean that Pakistan will remain on the grey list for a minimum of six months till its performance can be reviewed.
