Pakistan Proclaims Zero Tolerance For Daesh aka ISIS

Pakistan will not accept any activity from the terrorist group, also known as Islamic State, and called for a global response to the threat it poses to world security.

According to Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lt Gen Asim Bajwa Islamic State militants have no acceptance in Pakistan. Authorities in Islamabad expressed their commitment to fulfilling their role in combating the group.“There is a zero tolerance for Daesh in Pakistan. Even Daesh’s shadow will not be allowed in Pakistan,” said DG ISPR. He later added that the group has been totally rejected by Pakistani society and any visible action from the group will lead to swift action from authorities.

Lt Gen Bajwa said that the threat posed by Daesh is centered in the Middle East, with some activity in Afghanistan. “IS is gaining foothold in Afghanistan. But there is no room for it in Pakistan. There is zero tolerance policy for the group in the country. Clear cut action will be taken against it,” he said.
