The absconding chief of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Mullah Fazlullah has threatened the government, after growing the consensus in the country on taking firm action against militant groups, that the ruling party Pakistan Muslim League (N) is their "target".
The Taliban released a video online that was recorded apparently at his hideout somewhere in Afghanistan that said that the PML-n was there target now, reported Dawn News.
During the past years, around 800 leaders and workers of the Awami National Party have been killed in tribal areas.
Mullah Fazlullah appeared extremely perturbed at the government's decision of ending the moratorium on death penalty.
However, the authenticity of the footage cannot be verified.
