Let's not change the history. Seth Kooverji Khimji Lohana Gujarati School renamed after @Malala Yousazai. We request Sindh Education Minister @SaeedGhani1 to revisit the decision. Government should rather open new schools to honour our icon Malala.@ZiauddinY https://t.co/qMlPdMBvhj

Senator Saeed Ghani, from Pakistan, said, “I have asked the department to submit a comprehensive report. Thank you for your kindness. The name will be restored officially after the due process but surely any other school will be named @Malala which has no such kind of old name”
