Attack on Malala Yousafzai | Other Side of The Coin

Couple of days ago i receive a news alert on my cell phone i,e. Malala Yousafzai.. seriously wounded on the way to her school in her hometown in the Swat valley.
Then with in 30 mins i receive another alert i,e. Malala Yousafzai was seriously wounded by the Taliban as she was leaving her school in her hometown in the Swat valley.
In description it was mention that Taliban owned the attack by sending private Emails to the News Anchors of our media.Malala is Pride of my country Pakistan and Sister of this Nation,I really felt sorrow for her and condemn the attack.But.............. its not right to blame Taliban for this shameful attack.
Talibans are FREEDOM FIGHTERS!! The TTP is not a wing or doesn't have too many match with the real Afghan Taliban... How do u think that Afghan Talibans are that constructive FOOL to make such FUNNY phone call and send such foolish email to claim that they have killed a 13 years old kid for her BLOG in BBC!! I suspect the people who raised her that level, have just used the perfect opportunity to kill her instead raising her(Because Anti Drone rally is winning the heart of Whole World).. thats BBC.. CHAMPIONED in conspiracy..
Yesterday i found that many internationally known personalities condemn the attack including Barack Obama, Gordan Brown, Hillary Clinton, Ban ki Moon & OIC.I was quiet shocked to know that why they are taking it so seriously because unfortunately terrorist attacks are taking place in various places of Pakistan on daily bases and many of the daughters of the nation are dying due to these attacks,whats so special in this recent accident? I thought to search it out and while searching i found some facts and come to realize that what is on the other side of the Coin.
This is actually a conspiracy against the Anti Drone Rally and to provide justification for operation in North Waziristan against Haqani Network; West and its paid media have launched a campaign using the Malala issue on social, print & conventional media.. Using a poor girl for their vested interest is a condemnable act..
I am not in favor of killing innocents, but what about those thousands Malala who were killed in Drone Attacks? why not hue and cry by Western Media on the rapes of Muslim sisters by Indians? They are creating hype because that Girl was promoting the "Western Style Women Empowerment"
Anyway I still condemn the attack on Malala which was no doubt by the foreign agencies working in the Northern areas of Pakistan.
May she get well soon..

Attack on Malala Yusufzai.

 IS STANDING UP FOR SOMETHING RIGHT A CRIME IN PAKISTAN????



       


        Malala Yusufzai a 13year old, Eight graded student from Swat, Khyber Pakhtun khawan (KPK). She was the first girl from her province to wrote a diary to BBC news about education being banned in her Province.

         For her courageous and outstanding services for the promotion of peace under extremely hostile conditions, she was awarded the first National Peace Award by the Pakistani government on 19 December 2011.Speaking to the media afterwards, she expressed her intent to form a political party focused on education. The Government Girls Secondary School, Mission Road, was immediately renamed Malala Yousufzai Govt Girls Secondary School in her honour.



        She was named after Malalai of Maiwand, a Pashtun poet and warrior woman.

But who knew her so much bravery and honour  would cost her life one day. On 9th  October, a TALIBAN gunner walked up to her and shoot her twice. Once on her head and once on her neck.

 Now she’s fighting for her life and we just hope that ALLAH protects her. Ameen !
