Educationists in Pakistan have banned the memoir 'I Am Malala', written by the teenager with British journalist Christina Lamb, from 40,000 schools as she 'represents the West'.
President of the All Pakistan Private Schools Management Association, Adeeb Javedani, said his group had banned the book from the libraries of all affiliated schools.
He said Malala, 16, was representing the West, not Pakistan. The book details her extraordinary story and her continued role as an activist.

When she was just 14 years old, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by masked gunmen who singled her out as she returned home in a school bus in Pakistan’s north-west Swat Valley. She was targeted by the Taliban after speaking out against atrocities committed under the regime in October 2012.
