PESHAWAR: Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Wednesday that Malala Yousafzai had been offered security thrice but it was refused by her family.
“The inspector general of police (IGP), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa offered security to Malala thrice but her family refused it. The family probably didn’t know how important she was?” the minister told reporters at the Bacha Khan International Airport here Wednesday.
Rehman Malik said now he had ordered the authorities to provide security to the family even if they don’t accept it. “An air ambulance has reached the Bacha Khan International Airport on the directives of President Asif Ali Zardari but the doctors did not advise shifting Malala abroad. She will be shifted overseas once the doctors permit it,” he told newsmen after visiting the injured Malala.
Rehman Malik said the attackers and their gang had been identified and promised to bring them to justice. During his visit to the Combined Military Hospital (CMH), he praised the army for providing all-out support for treating the brave Swati girl.
Malala Yousafzai, who was nominated for the International Peace Award by the Kids Rights Foundation and later awarded by the Pakistani government with the first National Peace Award as well as Sitara-e-Jurat, was shot and injured by two attackers armed with pistols in Swat on Tuesday. Besides Malala, two other girls Shazia and Kainat were also injured in the attack and are under treatment in the Saidu Sharif Hospital in Swat.
Chief of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police Akbar Khan Hoti told reporters that a large number of suspects had been arrested during an extensive search operation in Swat after the attack. He added that the family of Malala had refused accepting police guards when they were offered security in April and August.
People from all walks of life praised Malala Yousafzai and prayed for her early recovery. Several functions, rallies and prayer ceremonies were held all over the country.
Malala rose to prominence after being nominated for the peace prize by the Dutch organisation Kids Rights Foundation for bravely writing against the atrocities of the Taliban militants when they were calling the shots in Swat valley. She wrote diaries for the BBC Urdu service under the pseudonym “Gul Makai”.
In her numerous interviews after receiving the awards, she spoke of her wish of playing an active role in politics after completing education. She was elected speaker of the Children’s Assembly, a forum organised by the UNICEF and the Khpal Kor, an educational institution for orphans in Mingora.
