PM David Cameron takes notice of PTI protest in London

British Prime Minister David Cameron has taken notice of the protest demonstration staged by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) at 10 Downing Street against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain’s telephonic addresses in Pakistan.

According to source, Mr Cameron came out of his residence and witnessed for five minutes the demonstration being held outside.

The British PM inquired from his staff about the demands being made by the PTI demonstrators.

Responding to the call of PTI hundreds of demonstrators staged a protest against Muttahida Qaumi Movment (MQM) Chief Altaf Hussain’s telephonic speeches in Pakistan.

As many as 1500 PTI and JI supporters and other demonstrators gathered at 10 Downing Street in London to lodge protest against MQM chief Altaf Hussain. The PTI protesters claimed that Altaf Hussain had threatened its anti vote rigging demonstrators in Karachi with dire consequences during a telephonic speech.

The participants of the demonstration demanded of the British government to put a curb on any interference by any kind of group or organization from Britain into the politics of Pakistan and provocation of the latter’s people.

Meanwhile, the London Police earlier rejected arresting activists of a Pakistan-based political party here.

According to sources, the London police came up with this clarification in the wake of a news item claiming the arrests that went viral on the social media.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Sindh senior vice president, Zahra Shahid Hussain, was gunned down in Karachi on Saturday night.

Malala Yousafzai Graces TIME’s 100 Most Influential People List

Lovely Malala Yousafzai from Pakistan, was only 14-years old, when she was shot in the head by the Taliban, and left to die. Their aim was to silence her, because Malala had been fighting for the education of girls, who are abused and suppressed around the world. News of the attempted murder shocked the masses, and blazed through social media. Protests began, petitions were started, and people rallied around Malala as if she were their own child. There was an outpour of love and support, as everyday people proclaimed,”We Are Malala”. Miraculously, Malala not only survived, she recovered from her injuries and was back in school within six months.

Chelsea Clinton:

“Malala is now where she wants to be: back in school. The Taliban almost made Malala a martyr;  they succeeded in making her a symbol. The memoir she is writing to raise awareness about the 61 million children around the world who are not in school indicates she accepts that unasked-for responsibility as a synonym for courage and a champion for girls everywhere. However Malala concludes her book, her story so far is only just beginning.”

Now at 15, Malala has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize . And today, she joins the list of  TIME’s 100 Most Influential People In The World, with the likes of President Obama, Pope Francis, Sheryl Sandburg, Gabrielle Giffords, and Beyonce’. The world loves this girl, and it’s no wonder. Malala has a relentlessness, courageous, and remarkable young spirit that drives her to fight for good. She is amazing. And as seen in this short video, she is also quite darling.
