Pakistan will get blacklisted by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) if it did not stop sponsoring terrorism, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh warned on Tuesday.

Speaking here at a programme to mark 11th anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Singh also said that India is no longer "a soft target".

At least 166 people were killed when 10 Pakistani terrorists attacked Mumbai between November 26 and 29, 2008.

"Since last five and half years our government has destroyed all the terror infrastructure in India and now we are moving towards disrupting terror finance network with the help of Financial Action Task Force," Singh said.

"Because of FATF, Pakistan can see all the shades of gray," he said, referring to the international watchdog putting the neighbouring country in its 'gray' list, and added "if Pakistan did not stop sponsoring terrorism, then it will most certainly be blacklisted."
