MALALA FROM PEOPLE’S SIGHT

9th October 2012, when Jinnah’s Pakistan was changed into Malala’s Pakistan, from the view few of the previous government’s official. But for sure, this is not an opinion of a common citizen of our homeland.
These days social media is solely focusing on one issue and that is Nobel Peace Prize for Malala, and most of the Pakistani’s seems to be against it and highly criticizing Malala Yusufzai and his father Ziauddin Yusufzai respectively, because people are extremely confused on the focus given by international and local media to Malala, when there are hundreds of other citizens who are sacrificing their lives and are also giving up their efforts whether in education or in war against terror.

The only issue with rest of the Pakistani’s was that, they didn’t get the chance to meet any official of international news media to highlight themselves, but Malala fortunately or unfortunately got that chance and avail it quite curiously.

Malala’s incident was a big question against Army’s rit in Swat, but that’s not an issue because hundreds of killings were normal in those particular days in entire Pakistan. The issue is why only Malala got that much limes light and special care in military hospital and after that in hospitals abroad? Why high executives of country visited her in hospital? Why President Obama particularly raised her issue in his statements? Why U.N General Secretary Baan Ki-Moon raised resolution for her in assembly? When they have no time for Kashmir and Palestinian issue? These are the big questions that need to be answered; otherwise people themselves will create something in their minds.

In the end, I would like to humbly request General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani to visit those who became victims of the drone attacks before 29^th of next month officially as he visited Malala particularly as we are all equal and needs the kindness of high officials as they were for Malala.
