KARAK: Chief of his own faction of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Sunday accused the government of being a slave to US approval for its internal, external and economic policies.
Addressing the ‘Islam Zindabad Conference’ in Karak, Fazl said the attack on teenage activist Malala Yousafzai was a “drama” and that there was no sign of an injury after the bandage on her head was removed.
The JUI-F chief said he sympathised with the child activist as “raising a hand” on women is forbidden in Islam, but there were other “daughters of the nation like Aafia Siddiqui” who also harboured a great desire to promote education in the country.
“Aafia Siddiqui was sentenced by a US court to 86 years of imprisonment even though they have no proof of her having links with al Qaeda.”
And we thought that the nation was united on the Malala issue, so much so that MQM decided to hold a referendum on the issue, terming the incident a “final wake-up call.” :hmmm:
This was such a bad PR disaster for the Taliban lovers that they have to resort in concocting conspiracy theories in order to blame someone else for this mess.
I just hope Pakistanis are not that stupid to fall for this nonsense.
قاتلانہ حملہ کرنے والے عطا کی بہن ریحانہ ، ملاله اور قوم سے معافی مانگ رہی ہے مگر ہمارے جاہل اور احمق لوگوں کو قوم کی بیٹی ملاله کے خلاف باتیں کرتے شرم نہیں آتی
Maulana has a voter base that he would like to stick with specially when elections are near. He is one of the 2 smart politicians in this country. Samajh tu aap gaeey hoon gaai.

Tens of thousands of people around the world have signed an online petition calling for the Pakistani schoolgirl shot in the head by the Taliban to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The UK government has also been urged to back the campaign, with advocates saying Malala Yousafzai represents those denied an education.
Malala's father said she was "humbled" by the support from around the world.
Doctors in the UK, where she is being treated, say she is making progress.
Malala, 15, is widely known as a campaigner for girls' education in Pakistan.
In early 2009 she wrote an anonymous diary for BBC Urdu about life under the Taliban, who had banned all girls in her area from attending school.
Meanwhile Saturday has been declared [a global day of action in Malala's name](http://educationenvoy.org/) aimed at getting school places for 32 millions girls around the world who are not attending classes.
The UN Special Envoy for Education Gordon Brown is in Islamabad ahead of the day to discuss ways of getting Pakistani girls currently out of school into the education system.
‘Recovering well’ Malala’s father, Ziauddin - who is visiting his daughter in the UK - said she wanted to convey how grateful and amazed she was that people around the world were interested in her well-being.
“Malala is recovering well, and she wants me to tell you she has been inspired, and humbled by the thousands of messages, cards and gifts. They have helped her survive and stay strong,” he said.
He has also said that she was a worthy candidate for the peace award.
“Malala stands for the human dignity, tolerance and pluralism. She has drawn with her sacred blood a clear line between barbarity and human civilisation. Her voice is the voice of the people of Pakistan and all downtrodden and deprived children of the world.”
In the UK, campaigner Shahida Choudhary said sheset up the petition “because a Nobel Peace Prize for Malala will send a clear message that the world is watching”.
A nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize may only be submitted by any person who meets the nomination criteria and the deadline is usually in February. The Nobel committee then prepares a shortlist which is not made public and laureates are chosen in October.
A few weeks before she was shot, the teenager told friends she wanted to campaign on their behalf, reports the BBC’s Orla Guerin in Islamabad.
She and two other schoolgirls were attacked as they returned home from school in Mingora in the Swat Valley in north-west Pakistan on 9 October.
The gunman who boarded the van in which she was travelling asked for her by name before firing three shots at her.
After initial surgery in Pakistan she was flown to a specialist trauma unit at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, in the UK, where doctors say she is making good progress.
No doubt it's a drama, a conspiracy hatched by the British MI5 assisted by Abdul Rahman Malik Traitor Agency.
It was NOT a Taliban style attack at all. Had it been perpetrated by Taliban, they wouldn't just have hurt the young lady, Malala. They would shot her as with as many bullets as to make sure she was dead. Talibans don't just leave you wounded.
Malala is an unsuccessful attempt by the British/Americans to project their agenda in the so called war on terror. The Pakistani ruling elites, the likes of Zardari and Abdul Rahman Malik are the people who may sell even their mothers for the sake of dollars. You may expect anything from them, they are the people with no self respect and principles.
The poor young lady was badly used by the Western NGO's and the nexus of MI5 and CIA. Her parents are stupid nuts or maybe they were kind of forced by the Western NGO's or other agencies, otherwise no sane parents would let their children to be used like that.

You pick up a girl from a place like Swat, take her to the British Council, or the British / American embassies, reward her parents with all they want to, and then you assign an agent to write a so called diary for BBC and falsely attribute it to this Pashtoon girl, then who doesn't want fame and wealth?
