Here we provide a video of that session. Video: * http://vimeo.com/61957631* =================== Message from Malala *Comrade Javed Iqbal, a Pakistani comrade from Birmingham in the UK, intervened to read out a message that had been sent from Malala Yousafzai, the young sympathiser of the Marxist Tendency famous for her part in the struggle for the right to education for girls in Pakistan. She had taken part in the national Marxist Summer School in July of last year in Swat. She was tragically shot in the head in a barbaric attack by fundamentalists, and made headlines worldwide. She is now thankfully recovering in the UK.* *The message she sent reads as follows:* *First of all Id like to thank The Struggle and the IMT for giving me a chance to speak last year at their Summer Marxist School in Swat and also for introducing me to Marxism and Socialism. I just want to say that in terms of education, as well as other problems in Pakistan, it is high time that we did something to tackle them ourselves. Its important to take the initiative. We cannot wait around for any one else to come and do it. Why are we waiting for someone else to come and fix things? Why arent we doing it ourselves?* *I would like to send my heartfelt greetings to the congress. I am convinced Socialism is the only answer and I urge all comrades to take this struggle to a victorious conclusion. Only this will free us from the chains of bigotry and exploitation.* ------------------------------ [Video]: Pakistani Marxists singing the Internationale at their recent congress<http://www.marxist.com/pakistani-marxists-singing-the-international-at-their-recent-congress.htm> Written by In Defence of MarxismThursday, 21 March 2013 [image: Print]<http://www.marxist.com/pakistani-marxists-singing-the-international-at-their-recent-congress/print.htm>[image: E-mail]<http://www.marxist.com/component/option,com_mailto/link,548ca1bb5edfa1775859f9a37118e99d36152327/tmpl,component/> We reported recently on the extremely successful 32nd congress of the Pakistani Marxists of *The Struggle*.
