emergence of Daesh – ISIS and its evolution in enormous spectrum. He said that he has discussed in detail

about the rise and flourish of Daesh – ISIS and its maneuvers across the globe. He said that this book brings to light the rising phenomenon of violent extremism under the banner of DAESH which is bent upon

disrupting and destroying internal, regional and international peace and stability. It addresses the readers that

how this organization abuses the name of religion as a bulwark for committing repugnant offenses against

humanity, he added.

Senator A. Rehman Malik said that he has pointed out the front organizations and groups that act as a platform for projecting and propagating DAESH’s lopsided worldview. He said that he has exposed in his book about the nexus between Al Qaeda and DAESH and how in many cases the Al Qaeda outfits shaped into DAESH.

Senator A. Rehman Malik said that infact he wanted to write this book few years back but he held it as he was

observing and witnessing many recent developments as Arab Spring and many other events had started to take

place and meanwhile the activities of Daish started extended worldwide replicating Al-Qaeda and Taliban.

He added that Daish can be proved more dangerous than Al-Qaeda and Taliban. “By this book I wanted to

expose this deadly terrorist outfit for the information of a common man and to give a wakeup call to the world

and to bring the heinous activities of Daesh on record” The author added.

He said that he as then Interior Minister had the courage to name Taliban and Zaliman and he was the only one

who kept chasing the reported activities of Daish and other sources. He said he was the one who discovered

the first ever presence of Daish in Daska Sialkot and its further extension to Southern Punjab and finally in

Kalar Syedan near the Capital but unfortunately, the then government despite to take preventive measures,

preferred to remain in denial state about the presence of Daish in Pakistan. He said that Khalid Karsani

claimed to be the representative of Daish and it could be visibly seen in former tribal areas. He said that the

terrorists of Daesh took training in Khost area of Afghanistan.

He said that in his book he has exposed the nexus between the Indian terrorist organization RSS and Daish. He

added that India got caught red handed recently for its involvement in Sri Lankan terrorist attacks as the

operations were trained in India through RSS and the President and Prime Minister of Sri Lanka have already

publicly declared as per their investigation that the recent act of terrorism in Sri Lanka was done by Daish

operators having trained in India.

He said that his book “Daish-ISIS; Rising Monster Worldwide” contains all about what people want to know

about Daish and it is dreadful terror creating modalities. He said that it is very unfortunate that the killer of

Daish, Al-Qaida, Taliban and terrorist organizations also recites Kalma and Allah-o-Akbar and the one who

is being killed also chant the slogan of Allah-o-Akbar, adding, so what is the actual ideology of Daish and

obviously this ideology of Daish is anti-Islam and will continue to be anti-Islam.

also in Middle East, Iraq, Turkey, Europe and South Asia and now Finally in Sri Lanka. He said that

Afghanistan and Pakistan have suffered the most in war against terrorism but unfortunately, the sacrifices of

Pakistan have been ignored by the International community. He paid a rich tribute to the Pakistan Armed

Forces for their sacrifices and fight against terrorist. The UNO should get benefit of the experience of Armed

Forces of Pakistan.

Senator A. Rehman Malik said he would not like to go into the details and as to who created this monster and

who is funding this monster as he has indicated all the facts in his book adding that Daesh is fully present in

Afghanistan and doing its actions in Pakistan via Afghanistan. He appealed the United Nations and OIC to
