ISLAMABAD:
Khyber Pakhtukhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain has said
that Malala Yousufzai has been punished over her love for education.
Addressing a news conference here on Tuesday, Hussain said: “We are in contacts with doctors for the treatment of Malala.”
Yousafzai, a children rights activist who was injured in a gun attack earlier today, is said to be out of danger.
She has been shifted to CMH Hospital in Peshawar from Mingora.
Yousafzai was critically injured, along with another girl, after gunmen
fired upon her school van in Mingora town of district Swat.
“Terrorists dont like peace and education. But they would not succeed in their objectives,” Hussain said.
“I salute peace activists for their work at this difficult time.”
He said that journey to peace would continue despite such terrorist attacks.
Fourteen-year-old Yousafzai hails from Mingora and is known for her
outstanding services for the promotion of girls education during the
Taliban insurgency in scenic Swat valley. SAMAA
