Pak Taliban bans bookshops from selling `I am Malala`
The TTP said that Malala had not performed any act of bravery but swapped her religion Islam with secularism for which she is being rewarded.
A spokesman for the group, Shahidullah Shahid said that they knew that Malala would get awards from the enemies of Islam.
Shahid warned that media and international community should keep in mind that students of Jamia Hafsa, Islamabad, were never given any award despite their immense bravery, Dawn News reports.
He further said that the Taliban will not lose an opportunity to kill Malala and those who were found selling her book will be targeted, the report added.
Earlier, Malala Yousafzai said that she wanted to become the Prime Minister, following in the footsteps of her role model late Benazir Bhutto, and aspired to use that position to serve her nation.
"I want to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan," 16-year-old Malala, who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban last year, said here during a special live recording of her interview with CNN.
She also spoke about her dream of working for children's education, the global recognition she has received from heads of states and organisations, her thoughts on being the frontrunner for the coveted Nobel and her liking for pop icon Justin Bieber's and Selena Gomez's songs.
She counts Bhutto, Pakistan's first woman Prime Minister, among her "heroes" and says she "admires her the most".
Malala said she would want to lead her nation in the future and politics would provide her a platform to serve the whole country.
She said she had earlier harboured dreams of becoming a doctor but now wants to join politics.
Malala said as Prime Minister of her country she will be able to "spend as much fund (I want) from the budget for education and also take care of foreign affairs."
She said despite being shot by the Taliban and having faced death, she has not stopped dreaming and aspiring to work for the cause of education.
"The Taliban can shoot my body, but they cannot shoot my dreams," she said, adding that the Taliban made their "biggest mistake" by trying to kill and silence her.
Malala said she will feel proud of herself when "I would work for education, when I would have have done something, when I will feel confident that I have built that school, done that teacher's training, I have sent that many children to school, then I will feel proud."
