After late Arfa Karim, the Pakistani computer prodigy, Malala Yousafzai
has become the second icon to appear on the world stage restoring the
good name of the motherland.
Their contribution to their respective
fields has been second to none. Malala stood against tyranny and
terrorism steadfastly. In recognition of her sacrifice and demonstration
of courage, all members of the United Nations are celebrating Nov 10 as
Global Day of Action for Malala Yousafzai. The Secretary General of the
world body, Ban Ki-moon in a video message said that Malala is a
metaphor for every girl’s right to education. He urged the people across
the world to join forces to put education first for girls and boys
throughout the globe. The Special Envoy of the UN Secretary General,
Gordon Brown, who is in Pakistan currently, has handed a petition to
President Asif Ali Zardari bearing more than a million signatures
calling for a Nobel peace prize for Malala.Arfa and Malala have helped
Pakistan improve its image across the world by simply making their
unique contribution. In essence, it has roused the people from their
deep slumber of bigotry and intolerance. Pakistan should step forward to
do whatever can be done for promoting education.
