And you believed that seriously ???
Why aren't the other girls in the van which also got seriously injured aren't treated like Malala why aren't they studying in Oxford why weren't they offered nationality

A 12 year old Malala doing charity for a school and opened a school and the terrorists asked who Malala was they shot her in the head from say 10 feet the bullet slipped though the neck to the shoulder

What a great story are we watching a Disney movie here

Personally I think Malalai is overrated. She isn't that great and she is used as a tool by the west.

 

[Kabira]

To many haters on social media. All I know is this child was shot in the face by afghani imposed terrorism for going to school. Yes many others died but not everyone is Malala.

 

[Sully3]

Never seen a big international public figure divide the society as much as Malala has back home.

2 things i have noted about why there is a divide on opinion on Malala back home:
1) Malala or her Father never really tried to make contact with the public back home or give their story to the Pakistani public so opinions were formed in peoples mind about her credibility. Where as to the international media they open their home to and every other day a British newspaper will be interviewing her, so much so that even Malalas little brothers are known to the public and the family including the mother have been in the press consistently.
2) Where some people went wrong by questioning her character or her allegiance to pakistan is that rather treating her like 15 year old kid people were thinking of her as fully mature adult who is trying to gain fame. But the truth is it probably would take us 5+ years as well to build up the courage to go back to a country you were shot in the head at. And nows shes 18 you can see signs of maturity and her willingness to come back and connect with the people.

Malal was and still is a propaganda tool. All her friends in the same bus carried on living in Pakistan, and some were also shot. Why she was taken abroad? Remember Imran khan was leading a very successful anti Drone campaign and was about to reach Waziristan and then Malala happened and the movement was drowned in Malala propaganda,.. She came back on same narrative, to support and promote drone strikes.

Lol why would I be jealous with her ??? And you are talking about Arshad chai wala where is he now no one knows

And that fame is staged many other children were attacked by the terrorists and many died what about them? Many schools were destroyed many teachers were martyred why aren't we talking about them leave all this

What about the other 2 girls which were also attacked by the same terrorist who attacked Malala why aren't those girls getting all this game and why aren't they studying abroad why so hypocrisy

Exactly the other girls in the van aren't important to the west only Malala is

Which survived even after being shot in the head I want to see that bullet

Why are you jealous at her fame? Why did that chai wala because famous? Fame is in Gods hand.

Look, I agree... She was used by other countries for propaganda against Pakistan however that’s not Malala’s fault. She’s never said a word against Pakistan in her life. If anything she’s heleped undeveloped areas of Pakistan through her organisation. It’s not easy work to establish a school and fund it... That should be appreciated.

She didn’t start speaking against her attackers after the attack... She spoke against them from the start.

That ain't fame that's a staged show by the west

So don’t blame Malala for that, blame the West.

All the money she got from her Peace Prize was donated and the rest comes from the genral public donating money.

The charity is called Malala Fund, here’s the website. You can read about everything her organisation has done.

She didn’t make any school before she was attacked however she did speak for education rights. You’ve not been attacked yet, have you made a school...

She is a brave young girl there is no doubt about that!

I have dreamed of returning to Pakistan for five years, says emotional Malala in homecoming speech

A visibly emotional Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel laureate in history, couldn't contain her disbelief upon finally returning home after more than five years away following a Taliban attack in Swat in 2012.

"I have dreamed of returning to Pakistan for the past five years," said a teary Yousafzai in a homecoming speech on Thursday at a function at Prime Minister House in Islamabad.

Yousafzai returned to Pakistan on a four-day visit late Wednesday night accompanied by her father Ziauddin, Farah Mohamed and Amirobyn Thompson. The 20-year-old Oxford University student from Swat has been living in the United Kingdom after surviving a Taliban attack which necessitated her departure abroad for medical treatment.

"Today, I am very happy that, after five-and-a-half years, I have set foot on the soil of my nation again," she began in Urdu. Switching to Pashto, she said: "Today is the happiest day of my life, because I have returned to my country, I have stepped foot on my nation's soil again and am among my own people."

"I am very happy, and I still can't believe ─ if I am honest ─ I still can't believe that this is actually happening, this is real. For the last five years, I have dreamed of returning back home. And whenever I would be in plane or a car and I would see the cities of London or New York, I would say [to myself], 'Just imagine that this is Pakistan, imagine that you are driving in lslamabad, imagine that this is Karachi', and it was never true. And now that I am seeing it today, I am very happy," she continued in Urdu, pausing to wipe tears away from her eyes.

"I was born in 1999," she said, stopping to wipe more tears from her eyes. "I don't cry often," she laughed.

"I am now 20-years-old, but I have seen a lot over the course of my life. From growing up in Swat ─ it was such a beautiful place ─ to then seeing terrorism and extremism from 2007 till 2009. And then seeing how many difficulties women and girls face in our society, and how we can fight against those challenges."

"And then being attacked, leaving my country...Everything was happening itself, I could not control anything. If it was my call, I would never have left my country. The doctors performed surgery on me and saved my life. But then for further treatment I had to go out and continue my education there. But it was always my dream that I return to Pakistan. And I want to be able to move freely in the streets and meet and talk to people peacefully, without any fear. And [I hope that] it will be like my old home ─ just as it was."

"So it's actually heartening, and I am grateful to all of you," she added.

Yousafzai described Pakistan's future generations as "the biggest resources we have".

"We need to invest in kids' education. The Malala Fund is already working on this. We have invested more than $6 million on girls' education in Pakistan, and we are continuing this work... I hope we can all join hands in this mission for the betterment of Pakistan, so that our future generation can receive the right education and women can become empowered, do jobs, stand on their own two feet and earn for themselves. That's the future we want to see."

"I still can't believe I am here. perhaps if I spend more time here [it will sink in]... It is literally a dream," she concluded.

'Welcome home, Malala'
PM Abbasi, who also addressed the gathering after Yousafzai, said he is happy that a daughter of the nation has returned to her homeland.

"You were a 13-year-old girl when you left and now you are the most famous citizen of the country. The entire world gave you honour and respect and Pakistan will [also]," he said.

"It is your home. Now you are not an ordinary citizen, your security is our responsibility."

"After your departure, we have fought a difficult war in which 6,500 soldiers, 25,000 policemen, paramilitary forces and civilians embraced martyrdom. Terrorism has been eliminated and still, we are fighting a war against terrorism. Set aside what the world says about us, Pakistan is fighting the largest war against terror. More than 200,000 soldiers are engaged in the war," he said.

"Welcome home, Malala," he concluded.

Earlier today, Yousafzai called on Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi at his office, where she was to attend the special function marking her achievements as an activist for girls education.

Sources told DawnNewsTV that Yousafzai shared her future plans with the premier during their meeting, and that PM Abbasi assured her of his complete support in connection with the educational projects she wanted to work on.

The premier also assured her of the provision of security in case she wants to visit anywhere in the country. The two also discussed prevailing situation in the country.

PML-N leader Marvi Memon, Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb and State Minister for Information Technology and Telecom Anusha Rahman also attended the meeting.

Taliban attack
Yousafzai was targeted by the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban in a gun attack in 2012 while she was on her way home in a school van after taking an exam.

She sustained a bullet injury to her head and was shifted from Pakistan to a hospital in Birmingham in a precarious condition. Two other girls also sustained gunshot wounds in the attack.

The attack on the schoolgirls received widespread criticism at the national and international levels as Yousafzai received sympathy and support from across the world.

Responding to the condemnation, the TTP denounced Yousafzai, compelling her to stay back in the UK due to security concerns.

After her recovery, Yousafzai announced launching a movement for the promotion of girls’ education. She visited a number of countries as an official guest where she was warmly welcomed and given an official protocol and reception.

During a visit to Canada last year, she was provided an opportunity to address the country’s parliament, and in 2017, the United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres selected Yousafzai to be a UN messenger of peace, the highest honour bestowed by the UN chief on a global citizen.
