Afghanistan- Pakistani Taliban chief Fazlullah has ordered militants to hit the leaders of PML-N after the government lifted a moratorium on death penalty.

“I urge you to hit them (PML-N leaders) hard, so they will either come to the right path or will be sent to hell,” Fazlullah instructed his followers.

“Previously, our enemy was the Awami National Party but now the PML-N is our target,” said Fazlullah, who is reportedly hiding in Afghanistan’s Kunar province.

Fazlullah, 40, was the leader of the Taliban in Swat Valley and became the Taliban chief in November 2013 after the killing of Hakimullah Mehsud.

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has already announced a bounty worth Rs 10 million for information leading to the arrest or killing of Fazlullah.

According to sources, the PML-N government has so far not responded to the threatening message.
