President Asif Ali Zardari, accompanied by his daughter Aseefa Bhutto Zardari, on Saturday visited Malala Yousufzai at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where the teenage activist is undergoing treatment. The president said that the people of Pakistan were proud of Malala’s bravery because she did not succumb to the threats made by the terrorists. “Malala has emerged as a symbol of commitment to the elimination of terrorism, extremism and sectarianism from Pakistan,” the president said. On October 9, Malala Yousufzai, 15, was shot in the head by the Taliban for allegedly advocating “western and secular” values. After receiving treatment at hospitals in Peshawar and Rawalpindi, she was flown to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham where she is currently undergoing medical treatment.
