India to push for international financial measures against Pakistan, source says



India will push the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), a global financial crime watchdog, to add arch-rival Pakistan back to its "grey list", and oppose upcoming World Bank funding to Islamabad, a top government source in New Delhi said on Friday.

India announced a slew of measures as retribution for what it says are Pakistan-backed militant attacks on its soil - the latest of which killed 26 Hindu tourists in the Kashmir valley last month - including keeping a critical water treaty in abeyance.

The source said India would not miss any opportunity "in opposing Pakistan and the next one is funding by World Bank, and we will raise our protest there too."
