Need to change mindset which attacked Malala: President Zardari

ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari addressed the Pakistan Leaders of Tomorrow conference and said the people of the country were fighting a mindset.

The president stated that Pakistan was fighting a war against those who had ruined the security of the country and would continue to do so until peace was restored.

The president called upon the young leaders in attendance to challenge this mindset in order to look after themselves and future generations. President Zardari emphasised that it was critical to change the mindset which attacked Malala Yousafzai.

The president stated that a non controversial leader was one who had not taken any decisions. “I am open to all criticism and am the one tolerating the most,” he said.

Following his address, the president fielded questions from those in attendance. He answered questions pertaining to Dr Aafia, security and Pakistan’s condemnation of the anti-Islam film and the crisis in Gaza.
