Pakistains response to the shooting of schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai by Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) Orcs and similar vermin was a turning point for the country, her father said Friday at the British hospital where is recovering.When she fell, Pakistain stood This is a turning point, said Ziauddin Yousafzai, who flew to Britannia with other family members on Thursday to help their daughters recovery. Malala Yousufzai, 15, was shot in the head by gunnies for raising her voice against the Pak Taliban and advocating Western, secular values. The young activist was flown from Pakistain to the British city of Birmingham to receive specialist treatment after the attack, which drew widespread international condemnation. Yousufzai said Friday his daughter was strong and would rise again to pursue her dreams after receiving treatment in a British hospital. They wanted to kill her. But she fell temporarily. She will rise again. She will stand again, he said, his voice wavering and breaking with emotion as he spoke. Its a miracle for us She was in a very bad condition, he told news hounds, sitting alongside his son. She is improving with encouraging speed. Posted by: Fred 2012-10-27 |
