Pakistanis themselves responsible for defaming Pak

London: The 19-year-old UK-based Pakistani education activist, in a video message said, "today I got the news of Mashal Khan's death. This incident is full of terror and violence. I have spoken to his father who gave the message of peace and patience. I appreciate and salute his message of patience and peace".

Nobel Laureate Malala Yousafzai today said Pakistanis themselves are responsible for tarnishing the image of Islam and the country.
We complain that there is Islamophobia, countries are tarnishing the name of our country. No one is diminishing Pakistan and Islam, we ourselves are tarnishing the name of Pakistan and Islam. We ourselves are responsible for tarnishing the image of Pakistan," Malala said.

"This was not only the funeral of Mashal Khan but it was also the funeral of the teachings of our religion. We have forgotten the teachings of Islam which teach us about peace and patience," she said.

Malala, who shared the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize with India's child rights' activist Kailash Satyarthi said, it is the right of every Pakistani to be safe and lead a normal life.
