Islamabad on Thursday rejected the remarks by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US military regarding the connections between Pakistain’s Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and the terrorist groups.
A front man for the ministry of foreign affairs of Pakistain Nafis Zakaria told news hounds "We have time and again rejected these allegations. Pakistain has done enough to erase the footprint of terrorism from its soil through indiscriminate counter terrorism operations against all terrorist outfits."
Zakaria further added that "Our counter-terrorism operations were without any discrimination and we have successfully erased the footprint of faceless myrmidons from our soil. There are no safe-havens in Pakistain."
He also claimed that the sanctuaries people are talking about are "located in the ungoverned spaces of Afghanistan."
Speaking to the US politicians in the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Gen. Dunford said "It is clear to that ISI has connections with the terrorist groups," Gen. Dunford said.
This comes as the Afghan and US officials are saying that the conflict in the country has links with the sanctuaries of the terrorist groups, particularly the Taliban

and Haqqani network
which have remained intact in the key cities of Pakistain.
