“I come with a message from party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Asifa Bhutto Zardari and Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari… Kashmiris are not alone in their struggle,” the AJK premier told participants of the rally.
Majeed claimed that the people of both Kashmir and Pakistan had always given their mandate to the Pakistan Peoples Party whenever free and fair elections were held, adding that the party never came into power through a back door.
“We are with the downtrodden and the poor in their fight against cruelty and injustice,” he maintained.

**Why Mr Prime Minster, you drag the so called war of terrorism in the name of politics to the peaceful region. Politics should remained within the domain of election politics not invite the uninvited guests in your region. I would appreciate Mr Prime Minister if you do politics with your rival Mr Sultan and opposition but not with powers you dont have control.

@islooboy: I appreciate what you say. But then what is the reason for helplessness expressed in abu-uzhur's mail?
@JSM: do you even realise that our missile program started in the 50,s when nasa helped suparco launch sounding rockets and for god sake no countey can export missile greater than 300km range it can give you sanctions and we do develop missile many organizations like gids nescom and heavy industry taxila produces them
It definitely will be a fitting tribute to Malala's extraordinary bravery.
Most of those who are whinge and whining about this type of defiant gestures are either sympathisers of murderous terrorists or afraid to stand up to the them.
@abu-uzhur: Because atom bombs made with stolen technology do not make you a real atomic power. Your army is not the best- they have never won a war- by winning a war i,e, achieved their objectives. You can not build a nation on negativities.

Keep naming institutes, airports, dont practically do something for education.
We have Benazir everywhere from Islamabad Airport to RWP General Hospital to Benazirabad but her ideology is lost amid dust of ignorance.
@Pakistani:
I know, it hurts when Taliban get a bad name.
Why don't we change Pakistan's name to Malalistan and then end the madness one for all.

The students of Swat College don't want their college re-named after Malala because of fear of terrorists . It is terribly agonising . We are an atomic power ! We have one of the best armies of the world ! Tens of millions of our citizens are being starved to maintain this army. Still we can't handle a small number of militants who are decimating our society and state . Why are we so helpless ? One is simply baffled .
can we put an end to this madness. for crying out loud put an end to this mallala crap now.
Very good move... despite the fact that it will give heart burns to the sympathizers of terrorists from the Urban areas of northern and central Punjab.
