Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf today visited the bedside of a 14-year-old girl who was shot by Taliban gunmen for her outspoken work on behalf of girls' education.
He was accompanied to a military hospital in Rawalpindi by leaders of allied parties in a show of support for Malala Yousafzai, who was shot Tuesday along with two classmates outside her school in Mingora in the volatile Swat Valley region.
"It was not a crime against an individual, but a crime against humanity and an attack on our national and social values," he says, The Guardian reports.
