In what appeared a veiled support to takfiri terrorists of DAESH (ISIL or ISIS) in Pakistan, federal interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday argued that since DAISH was an Arab-based outfit, they are not in Pakistan till now.

Talking to reporters in Taxila, Chaudhry Nisar once again rejected reports of ISIS/ISIL in Pakistan.

“There is no presence of ISIS militants in Pakistan “I will repeat what I said, again, ISIS is an Arab-based organisation, whose presence up till now is not in Pakistan,” he claimed.

However, he admitted there were already several other (takfiri) militant groups present in the county, and if ISIS was not, there was no need to add to the country’s already negative reputation in terms of militancy.

Exerts on terrorism have expressed surprise on the hypothetical stance of the interior minister. They asked Chaudhry Nisar to clarify his position on al-Qaeda and its affiliated takfiri terrorist groups who are also Arabs, Uzbeks and of other origins, operating inside Pakistan for a long time.

They said that even pro-Taliban religio-political parties admitted presence of Arabs who had arrived during so-called Afghan jihad era and then married and settled here. Many of them were killed and their bodies were also found here. Many of them were arrested and handed over to the U.S. army. They asked the PMLN government to clarify her position because it is empty claim that DAISH or DAESH was not inside Pakistan. They said that negative image cannot be brightened by denial of an evil but tarnished image could be blossomed through counterterrorism operations and for that government needs to admit the existence of the terrorists of DAISH.
