Army chief General Ashfaq Kayani on Wednesday condemned the attack on Malala Yousafzai as a “heinous act of terrorism” and said it had exposed the “extremist mindset” that was plaguing the country. During a visit to CMH Peshawar to meet the 14-year-old Malala who was shot and seriously injured by the Taliban on Tuesday, Gen Kayani said incidents like the attack on Malala clearly exposed the extremist mindset the nation was facing. The ISPR said Gen Kayani stated the terrorists had underestimated the resolve and resilience of the people. “It is time we further unite and stand up to fight the propagators of such barbaric mindset and their sympathizers,” he said. “We wish to bring home a simple message: We refuse to bow before terror. We will fight, regardless of the cost, we will prevail Insha Allah.” Gen Kayani said, adding that the “cowards who attacked Malala and her fellow students have shown time and again how little regard they have for human life and how low they can fall in their cruel ambition to impose their twisted ideology”. He said Malala had become a symbol for the values that the army, with the nation behind it, was fighting to preserve for our future generations. “These are the intrinsic values of an Islamic society, based on the principles of liberty, justice and equality of man,” he said. General Kayani said this was not the first time the militants had targeted children and he referred to an attack on a mosque in Rawalpindi as “a painful reminder of their bloodlust”. He said the militants had no respect even for the golden words of the Prophet (PBUH) that “the one who is not kind to children, is not amongst us”.

    • Mr chamchay or ISI recruit
      .its people like you only who can stand behind this extended coward chief,Nation is just suffering or facing acute kind of humiliation for nomination of such worst kind of COAS.
      Come on and pick her murderer or those who given such order .
      I am sure the foot prints will go to any office of intelligence units working in swat. I can bet you on it

  4. Its easy to boast about bravery and make tall claims when you are riding around in a bullett and bomb proff Mercedes with 150 armed pesonell. Let kiayani go out in public without security and see how many minutes/hours he lasts. kiayani has no shame. He declared Swat free of talibans. Now he will make big statements from the comfort of his highly secured office and act like a hero. I would have much rather seen kiayani being shot than hear the news of this young innocent and brave girl being injured. Pakistan needs a thousand Malala's than one kiayani. She has done more for Pakistan in 14 short years of her life than kiayani has done in the 70+ years of his life.

    • True absolutely true gate man of Hell.he doesn't entitle himself for state security only but almost 25 state vehicles and 50 men are there on duty of his family including his wife. son, daughter and even daughter in law too. So there is no department who can evaluate how much security expenses this nation bear for only its chief and his family whom is assigned to secure the nation but what he does is opposite to it.
