Malala’s Pakistan (II)

Letter October 08, 2013
Malala targeted by Taliban receives world attention. Many Malalas, families targeted by drones don't deserve attention

LONDON: This is with reference to your story “In Swat, schoolgirls pray for Malala’s Nobel in secret” (October 7). Malala targeted by the Taliban receives world attention. Many Malalas and their families targeted by US drone strikes seemingly do not deserve any attention. Is this indicative of double standards, hypocrisy or a propaganda machinery at play?
