Imran disappointed over Malala not receiving Nobel Prize

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has expressed disappointment over Malala Yousafzai not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. He, however, said that her nomination was an honor for all Pakistanis. “We are proud of this daughter of Pakistan who had to suffer trauma at such a young age, almost losing her life, simply because she stood for the right of girls to education," he said. “Her many international accolades are a recognition not only for her brave struggle but of the struggle of girls and women everywhere in the world against tyranny and oppression that denies them even the basic right to education,” Khan said in a statement issued here on Friday.
