Pakistan has flatly ruled out the possibility of the existence of terror outfit ISIS in the country.

According to Daily Pakistan, Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry said in an interview that no one will be allowed in the country to have link with Daesh (ISIS) and that the country was fully capable of preventing any threat from ISIS or any other extremist organisation.

Expressing solidarity with the victim of the 13/11 Paris carnage, Chaudhry condemned the attacks and asserted that Pakistani leadership is united for eradicating terrorism.
