Pakistan : Operation against maverick , Mullah Fazlullah in Swat

Reports say that Pakistani government has launched a major operation against maverick , Maulana Fazlullah.

The government claims that they have moved in on the militants in Swat to reassert its writ over 59 villages of Matta Division. They also allege that the cleric has set-up a parallel administration.

I support government’s decision to launch operation in Swat. I hope that they will be able to restore peace. But the question is why the government did not take action when he started his criminal activities.

The should also shake up the local administration. According to reports , they are corrupt and tyrant. Their tyranny and corruption have made Maulana Fazlullah popular.
