Good speech by Malala, seemed written for global consumption: Shahbaz

Twitterati quick to take to the keyboards to speak their mind on the issue.

Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif is not one to stay back on trend, and his latest tweet touches what is trending both on twitter and in the real world.

After teenage activist Malala Yousafzai addressed the UN General Assembly on her 16^th birthday, Shahbaz Sharif tweeted:

Wearing a pink head scarf, Malala told UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and nearly 1,000 students from around the world attending a Youth Assembly at UN headquarters in New York that education was the only way to improve lives.

“I am not against anyone, neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban or any other terrorist group. I’m here to speak up for the right of education for every child,” she said.

Reactions pour

The Twitterati were quick to take to the keyboards to speak their mind on the issue:
