Wall chalking against the Islamic State (IS) fighting in Iraq and Syria has emerged in Sindh’s provincial capital following the recent discovery of graffiti in support of the militant organisation in parts of the country.
The anti-IS wall chalkings consist of slogans stating: “Those who support Daish (IS) are traitors of Pakistan” and “Death to Daish”
Chalking in favour of IS had appeared in various places across all four provinces of the country causing a ripple of concern through the security administration.
A police probe into wall chalking was launched in the outskirts of Karachi and in Taxila where flags of the group, also known locally by its Arabic acronym ‘Daish’, were fixed to electricity poles near the Pakistan Ordinance Factories (POF).
