Taliban insurgents have threatened to kill the Pakistan’s largest political party members, the United National Movement, for standing up against the militant group in wake of the assassination attempt on country’s youngest peace activist Malala Yousufzi, media reported.

In a statement issued to the local media, the Pakistan’s Taliban group, the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Friday said that group has decided not to show any mercy to the “apostate tyrants of Karachi”.
The political party’s leader Altaf Hussain has been a strong critic of Taliban insurgents and his party has voiced opposition for ruling party’s attempt to hold talks with the insurgents.
“How can we hold talks with those who fired shots on Malala Yousufzai, Shazia and Kainat? How can we talk about peace with those who beheaded personnel and officers of the army, police and FC?” the MQM chief said in a speech to party workers on Oct 20. Hussain has also urged the Army to take the ‘bold decision of acting against the terrorists’.
The insurgents also have called Pakistan’s judges to work for an Islamic system.
“I call out to all the judges who are part of Pakistan’s secular laws and courts: You will also be held accountable in front of God some day. Therefore, you should also work for an Islamic system rather than this godless system,” the statement added.
Malala Yousufzai is currently undergoing treatment in the United Kingdom. She was shot at by two gunmen near her home in Swat Valley, a popular tourist destination among the locals.
