However, it back lashed and people criticized her for not raising her voice for Kashmir and talking about the iPhone instead. Among her many critics, Pakistani host Mathira also took to the social media and rebutted Malala for talking about Kashmir or recent Priyanka Chopra controversy.
“First of all, she has the time to post about iPhone stuff why not Kashmir, I don’t get it. Her one tweet against Priyanka and Kashmir will help but she is worried about her dress and iPhone,” expressed Mathira.
In response to Mathira’s comment, veteran actor Aaminah Haq came out in support of Malala and took a dig at publications supporting Mathira.
Veteran actress Aaminah Haq responded by supporting Malala and took a jab at publications and others for backing Mathira’s comment.
Mathira responded and applauded actor Mehwish Hayat for speaking up. “People should use their platform in a nice way. Mehwish Hayat is one of the greatest examples she used her press her platform and because she was brave,” she asserted.
“To cut the long story short, I don’t think that one Pakistani woman needs to bring another Pakistani woman down and should support and praise each other”, Haq replied.
Malala has replied to none of the remarks.
Malala‘s tweet triggered the internet and faced sever back lash by users.
Dearest Malala,

While it s really sweet that you have time to tweet about your dress and the launch of the new iPhone 11, please do spare a moment to raise your voice in support of your brothers and sisters in #Kashmir. No one can hear them, but the world will listen to you.
School children of Kashmir can t go to school because of lockdown, at least have curtesy to send a single tweet about them
