Malala Yousafzai to go to Oxford, study same course as Benazir

Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai on Wednesday received honorary Canadian citizenship and praised Canada&#39;s open embrace of refugees under the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Canada last year accepted 25,000 refugees from Syria and in January, when US&nbsp;President Donald Trump issued an immigration ban on people from seven Muslim-majority countries, Trudeau pointedly tweeted that refugees were welcome in Canada.

&quot;Your motto and your stand - Welcome to Canada - is more than a headline or a hashtag,&quot; Yousafzai said in an address to legislators in the Canadian Parliament.

&quot;I pray that you continue to open your homes and your hearts to the world&#39;s most defenceless children and families,&quot; she said.

Yousafzai, a&nbsp;Pakistani education activist who came to prominence when a Taliban gunman shot her in the head in 2012, is only the sixth person to receive honorary Canadian citizenship.

Other recipients include Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama.

Malala Yousafzai revealed she was scared and thought she was in trouble when the deputy headteacher of her school in Birmingham asked her to step outside the class on the day the Nobel Peace Prize winner was announced, Guardian reported.

Yousafzai, giving a speech at the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) annual conference, said: &quot;Suddenly, our deputy headteacher appears in the classroom and I&rsquo;m just quite shocked, because why would she call me? I thought I was in trouble or something. She called me outside and I went and she said: &lsquo;You have won the Nobel peace prize.&rsquo; So it was a big surprise, and I said: &lsquo;Thank you.&rsquo;&rdquo;

Yousafzai, who was shot at by Pakistan Taliban in 2012 for speaking in support of female education in Pakistan, had won the Nobel Prize in 2014.

The 19-year-old is currently preparing for her A-Levels at a girls&#39; school in Birmingham, UK.

She also said she had received an offer from a UK university to study politics, philosophy and economics after completing her school, though she didn&#39;t divulge the name of the university.

The teenager, who is a fierce advocate for education for girls, told the audience that she had received a conditional offer from the university.

&quot;I need to get three As, that&#39;s what my focus is right now,&quot; she said.

Why Malala Yousafzai got scared on Nobel Prize announcement day

As unrest that has spanned more than a month&nbsp;refuses to die down&nbsp;in India&#39;s Kashmir, Pakistan&#39;s Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai on Tuesday called on the United Nations, Pakistan and India to improve the conditions in the state and halt the &quot;inhumanity and heartbreak&quot;.&nbsp; 
 
&ldquo;The Kashmiri people, like people elsewhere, should have the fundamental human rights,&rdquo; Pakistan daily Dawn quoted the 19-year-old as saying.&nbsp; 
 
Malala expressed solidarity with the people of Kashmir and said that dozens have been killed and thousands wounded in the violent clashes between the unarmed protesters and the police over the last two months. 
 
The violence flared up after Burhan Wani, commander of separatist organisation Hizbul Mujahideen fighting for Kashmir&#39;s independence, was killed. Curfew was imposed in the Indian side of Kashmir following his death.&nbsp; 
 
&quot;I stand with the people of Kashmir. My 14 million Kashmiri sisters and brothers have always been close to my heart,&quot; she said. &nbsp; 
 
On the same day, the Pakistani army chief General Raheel Sharif described Kashmir as Pakistan&#39;s jugular vein and said that Islamabad will continue to support the sacrifices of Kashmiri people, PTI reported.&nbsp; 
 
&quot;We salute the great sacrifices of the people of Kashmir for their right of self-determination. The solution of the problem lies in the implementation of the resolutions of United Nations in this regard. Pakistan will continue to support Kashmir on the diplomatic and ethical fronts,&quot; said the chief of army staff, addressing a ceremony held at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi to mark the country&#39;s Defence Day. 
 
An all-party delegation seeking to end the two-month long turbulence in Kashmir concluded yesterday, with the Indian home minister Rajnath Singh sending out a clear message to the separatists of Kashmir &#39;being an integral part of India always&#39;.&nbsp;
