Punjabi Taliban

LAHORE: This is with reference to your report ‘Punjabi Taliban claim responsibility’ (June 10). There has of late been a multitude of statements by officials, ministers and analysts all advocating an operation against the Taliban in southern Punjab. My one question to them is that what will happen if these Taliban elements move – which they have shown they can readily do – to northern Punjab?
