LONDON: Nobel Peace Prize winner, Malala Yousafzai has said that as a Nobel Laureate, UN Messenger of Peace, citizen of Pakistan and a student, she is alarmed by the escalation of tensions between Pakistan and India and is concerned for people living on both sides of the border.
“I ask Prime Minister Imran Khan and Indian PM Narendra Modi to show true leadership in this difficult time; to sit down, shake hands and settle the current conflict and long-standing issue of Kashmir through dialogue,” Malala said in a post on Twitter.
With a hashtag of #SayNoToWar, Malala says, “Everyone aware of the horrors of war would agree that retaliation and revenge is never the right response—once started, it rarely ends.”
“Millions of people are suffering today because of existing wars –we don’t need another. Our world cannot even care for all the people currently in peril,” she added.
She also asked the international community to support talks between India and Pakistan and to help prevent loss of lives and homes.
Citizens of both countries know that the true enemies are terrorism, poverty, illiteracy and health crises – not each other.
