I'm against honouring Malala with Nobel Prize: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

May 3, 2016

Mumbai, May 3: Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has termed the decision to award Nobel Peace Prize to Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai as political'.

ravishankarHe also said that he would never accept the award.

He was in Latur on Saturday to review the drought situation in Marathwada when he made the statement.

Speaking to an English daily, Sri Sri said, "I was in the past offered the Nobel Peace Prize, but I had rejected it as I only believe in working and not in being honoured for my work. We should always honour only to those who deserve it and I am totally against honouring Malala Yousafzai with the prize and it is of no use."

In Latur, his Art of Living organisation is working towards restoring rivers.

He also told the Daily - "The government has to work towards a sustainable model and should take appropriate steps towards the rising farmer suicides in the state. I also appeal to farmers of the state to not commit suicide as that is not the ultimate solution for all the problems arising out of drought.”

Yousafzai was announced as the co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Kailash Satyarthi, in 2014.

Aged 17 at the time, Yousafzai had became the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate.

I wish that in your next birth you born as a girl in a backward country like Pakistan or Afghanistan , and if then you are able to raise your voice after being shot at and then if you still stay strong and become an inspiration to millions and the word then and only then would you deserve the respect that your are seeking so desperately.

Bro Mohammad, #2
There is medicine for JEALOUSY, HATE, CRIME, EVIL habits... But the person should take the change to change himself.
Let the Jealous person read the biography of Prophet Muhammad Pbuh. and also let him read the QURAN which is the Guidance for humanity and how to live life according to the law of God. JEALOUSY will run away automatically if We PONDER on what DIVINE knowledge says to us.
