President Asif Ali Zardari Friday approved conferment of Tamgha-i-Shuja'at on Shazia Ramzan and Kainat Riaz. Spokesperson to the President Senator Farhatullah Babar said that Shazia Ramzan and Kainat Riaz, school fellows of Malala Yousufzai, were brutally attacked by the militants while they were travelling with Malala in the same School van.
These girls represent the true face of Pakistan and are national asset. They had raised collective national consciousness against the barbarism of militants and extremists and their quest for knowledge despite threats had illumined the path for all, he said.
