Hyderabad: Dubbing Pakistan as the epicentre of Takfirism and a training ground for terrorists whose ideology is no different from Daesh and Al-Qaeda, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi said that the country should be put back on the Grey List of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) for ensuring world peace. "Terrorism emanates from Pakistan. They believe they have a religious sanction (to kill), which is completely wrong. Islam does not allow the killing of any person, but unfortunately that is their ideology. Terrorism survives on two factors – ideology and money. Unless Pakistan is brought on FATF Grey list, they will continue to sponsor terrorism," Owaisi said in Algeria while addressing the media, members of think tanks and the Indian diaspora.The Hyderabad MP is part of an all-party delegation to Algeria sent by the govt of India to expose Pakistan-sponsored terrorism to the world. India has sent several all-party delegations to show its resolve against terrorism and garner international support following Operation Sindoor in response to the attack in Pahalgam where 26 tourists were killed on April 22. Pointing out that Algeria had itself been a victim of Takfirism – a radical ideology that calls for killing those considered non-believers – Owaisi said: "We are together on this point.

Killings will come down once Pakistan is brought back in the Grey list (of FATF). We have the 2018 experience when Algeria and other countries helped India (on FATF)."Citing the case of Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi – the mastermind behind the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack – Owaisi said: "No country in the world would allow such special treatment to a terrorist. He became a father to a son while sitting in prison. But the trial progressed immediately when Pakistan was put on the Grey list (of FATF).

It's not only a question of South Asia. We are the fourth largest economy. What will happen? Do you want all this carnage to spread to different parts of South Asia? No.

It is in the interest of world peace to control Pakistan, which is the main sponsor of terrorism. It has to be brought back in the FATF Grey list."Owaisi appealed to the global community to rein in Pakistan for openly promoting UN-proscribed terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) that is ideologically close to Al-Qaeda and also helped the terror group responsible for the 9/11 attacks in the US. "Anyone who picks up arms is a terrorist. Can't allow any space to be given to any terrorist," he said.
