KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Sunday asked Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan to answer the question as to who was conducting Daish (also known as Islamic State) wall chalkings in the country, DawnNews reported.

Speaking at a press conference at Nine-Zero in Karachi, MQM leader Wasih Jaleel alleged that Jamaat-i-Islami (JI), Daish and Al Qaeda were part of one nexus.

He said to understand something "this simple did not require rocket science".

“When JI has people like Munawar Hasan amongst its ranks then there is no need for enemies,” Jaleel said.

He reminded people that MQM Chief Altaf Hussain has already warned about the dangers that Daish presents to the country.

“Certainly people who share Daishs’ ideology were doing the wall chalking,” Jaleel said.

The MQM leader said that despite denials that Daish does not exist in Pakistan, action must be taken otherwise the country will suffer.
