Daily Times Monitor

LAHORE: Swat Taliban chief Fazlullah on Friday said the government would not be allowed to restore its writ in Malakand and Swat, a private TV channel reported.

According to an audio message the channel claimed to have received from Fazlullah, the Taliban leader criticised the government for launching the military operation in Swat and Malakand, saying that for siding with the government, residents of the area should suggest their punishments themselves. Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan confirmed the authenticity of the message.

Meanwhile, the Online news agency said Fazlullah had also vowed to continue struggling for the imposition of sharia.

Fazlullah said he and other top Taliban leaders were alive and would continue their struggle.
