BANNU: Leader of the opposition, Akram Khan Durrani from JUI-F condemned the attack on Malala Yousafzai while expressing his surprise over the fact that Qainat and Shazia, the two girls also injured in the attack, did not attract any attention from the government. Addressing a gathering in the Maang Khel area in the district, he said that the attack on the Malala was deliberately given media hype, compelling a military operation to be launched in North Waziristan. He said that military operations were never a solution to curb terrorism, “These problems can be solved through dialogue,” he said, adding JUI-F Chief Mulana Fazalur Rehman unveiled the real face of Imran Khan to the nation.

Durrani sahib, for my knowledge give me an example from history where terrorists were not proceeded against militarily and please for your whatever designs do not degrade Malala for quoting her in every JALSA. The child is struggling for life. If i am entitled to my openion, I must say " Malala is a bright star in perpetual darkness therefore she deserves coverage by media"
