Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says he was against the Taliban attack survivor from getting the award.
In a shocking incident, spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar of Art of Living and the World Cultural Festival controversy has said that Nobel Malala Yousafzai did not deserve the prestigious award.
The spiritual guru also said that he would never accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
"That girl (Malala) has done nothing to get the Nobel prize," said the Sri Sri.
He was quoted by the Deccan Chronicle saying, “I was in the past offered the Nobel Peace Prize, but I had rejected it as I only believe in working and not in being honoured for my work. We should always honour only to those who deserve it and I am totally against honouring Malala Yousafzai with the prize and it is of no use,” he said.
