Thane (Maharashtra): Hundreds of schoolchildren Saturday took out a protest march from
a mosque here to condemn the attack on teenaged Pakistani peace
campaigner Malala Yousufzai, who has been shot and critically
injured by the Taliban.
The students, mostly girls, held placards with a message "I am
Malala" to express their solidarity with the activist who was shot
at by the Taliban when she was returning home from school.
Led by Nationalist Congress Party legislator Jitendra Awhad, the
protest march started from a mosque in Thane to the local railway
station around two-km away.
Malala was shot and seriously injured in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
province in northwest Pakistan Tuesday when she was returning home
from school.
Taliban claimed responsibility for the shooting that also injured
two other girls and has sparked outrage across the world and
Pakistan and condemnation from world leaders.
She is not yet out of danger and has been shifted to a hospital in
Rawalpindi.
