Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who took it upon himself to try and strike a chord with the notorious terrorist outfit, changed his tune after his outreach was rebuffed. He now feels ISIS can only be dealt with militarily and there is no scope of a peaceful resolution.

"I tried to initiate peace talks with the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) recently but they sent me a photograph of a beheaded body of a man. Thus, my effort for a peace dialogue with the ISIS ended," Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said.

Sri Sri, who after successfully hosting 'World Culture Festival', was hopeful to strike a chord with the most notorious terrorist outfit, stated that ISIS could only be dealt with militarily and there was no scope of a peaceful conclusion.

Earlier this week Sri Sri urged the Manipur Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh to ask the insurgents to come to the negotiating table.
