Rebel cleric Mullah Fazlullah said on Wednesday that he is ready for talks with the government. In a speech broadcast on his illegal FM radio station, he said that the government must show sincerity in its efforts for peace to ensure successful negotiations. He also vowed to continue the struggle for the implementation of Shariah law in the Malakand Division and urged the people of the region to support his cause. Fazlullah claimed that some elements were attempting to sabotage the peace efforts by creating misunderstanding between the government and the Taliban. This was the first transmission by FazlullahÂ’s radio station since it was shut down by troops during the military operation last year.
