Islamabad – Five days after the appearance of an Islamic State (IS) flag was noted in Islamabad, similar wall chalking seems to have appeared in the army controlled Pakistan Ordi­nance Factory area of Wah where a wall chalking of ‘Daesh’ (Arabic for Islamic State) was observed by local residents on Friday, police sources said.
As soon as the IS flag was observed in Islamabad, it created a lot of panic across the political groups and law enforcement agencies. The IS flag was removed immediately by the police and a FIR was registered under the anti-terrorism law.
Earlier on Thursday, similar wall chalking was observed of a local banned sectarian outfit, “Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP)” around electric poles in the Wah Cantt area.
An investigation had been launched against the FIR complaint against the SSP chalking; a senior police office confirmed that action over Friday’s Daesh chalking too.
