| Malala Yousafzai said that Pakistanis themselves have given a bad name to Pakistan and Islam. Referring to the recent mob-lynching of a university student for ‘blasphemy’, the Pakistani Nobel Laureate said in a video message, “This incident was not just about the death of Mashaal. It was also the death knell of the message of Islam. We have forgotten our religion…we have forgotten our values and decency.” Yousafzai said Pakistanis need to study their religion carefully because it preaches tolerance and peace. |

The Congress, which is backing Abdullah, blamed the state government and the Election Commission for the miserable turnout of voters. |
