‘Malala’s attack being used as a cover for Waziristan operation’

Former chief of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Qazi Hussain Ahmed on Saturday said that the attack on Malala Yosafzai has no connection with TTP but it was conducted to create justification for military operation in Waziristan Agency.
Talking to a private TV channel, Qazi Hussain Ahmed said that TTP spokesman Ahsan Ullah Ahsan is only a redolent character and government uses his so-called claims of terrorist attacks to put a veil on its failure to provide security to public lives and properties.
He strongly condemned the attack on Malala Yousafzai and termed it a cowardly act adding that female education is very important since a child grows up under the care of a mother whose education will directly affect the quality of life of the child.
However, the former JI chief said that declaring US President Barack Obama as role model could not be Malala’s own thinking and she was taught to give the statement by NGOs and governmental officials to attain US attention and sympathies to get funds in the name of various development projects for human rights and girls education. Qazi Hussain Ahmed said that innocent Malala became the victim of a conspiracy being hatched at high levels and she was used to fulfil the nefarious designs of creating a justification for military action in tribal areas on the desire of US administration.
He expressed surprise over condemnations at national and international level over attack on Malala and said every innocent girl and children being killed in US drone attacks in Waziristan Agency area Malala are just as precious. He further said that no one raised issue of killing innocent children in drone attacks and so-called military operations but international community, so-called human rights organisations and political leadership seem much concerned over Malala’s incident.
