In reply to a question about IS presence in Pakistan, during an interview to VOA Deewa (Pashto service), ISPR chief Maj Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa said: “There could be isolated cases where they are trying to show their presence or to become relevant, but I don’t see this growing” into a major threat.

About Operation Zarb-i-Azb, Gen Bajwa said the military had already pushed the militants out of their main access route and from two arteries in North Waziristan, the east-west Bannu-Dattakhel corridor and Ghulam Khan and Spinwam Shiva routes.

they want one thing and propaganda starts on peak

 

[tarrar]

Indians are going to spread & are spreading massive propaganda against IS presence in Pakistan, bollywood style & why wouldn't they, Modis recent meeting with Obama was a clear proof that both have united & joined hands against Pakistan & this is a perfect opportunity for them to do it because of corrupt & incompetent politicians installed in Pakistan (PML-N, PPP, ANP, JUI, MQM & etc.)

IS is a threat to countries with weak military.

They can win against tribal militias like Kurds.

But they will run with their tails in the hind legs if faced with regular modern force like Pakistani or Indian army.
