Mumbai: Photo of a beheaded man - that’s what spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar received from ISIS when he tried reaching out to the terrorist outfit with a suggestion for peace talks.
Taking a firm stand on the subject, Sri Sri also said that the only way to deal with ISIS would be through military as ‘ISIS does not want any peace talks.’
