TAXILA: Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan told journalists on Tuesday that he never said that there was no presence of Daesh in Pakistan, he clarified that decision makers of Daesh have no presence in the country.
The interior minister told journalists that there are 45 different terrorist organizations operating in Pakistan. He added that it is the same people from these terrorist organizations that break away and take on the name of Daesh.
The Interior Minister regretted that a number of TV talk shows are held to discuss non-issues like whether Daesh is present in Pakistan or not. “If Daesh is really present in Paksitan, then identify them…identify the people with Arabic names,” he added.
He said those using the name of Daesh have been marked and are in the cross-hairs of the law enforcing agencies.
He was addressing a press conference after the leader of the opposition in the national assembly Syed Khursheed Shah asked how terrorism can be eradicated in a country where the interior minister is so weak.

The interior minister told journalists that after the attack on Geo News anchor Hamid Mir he had asked the then DG Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) General Zaheerul Islam to get to the bottom of it.
“However, no progress has been made on the matter till today,” he added.
