Mr. Samad Khurram, a student of a private school in Islamabad refused to accept his an award of academic excellence from the American Ambassador Anne W. Patterson. The academic excellence award was being given to him for his admission to Harvard, a world distinction in thinking skills, a regional distinction in chemistry and 7 A grades in A level. The student said that he did so because of the United States attacks on the tribal regions of Pakistan in which innocent children and the people are dying, and the US continuous support for the dictator Pervez Musharraf.
The face of Anne W. Patterson turned red and for 5 long seconds she stood there motionless with shame and anger. When the student was called to receive the certificate on the stage from the US ambassador, he just passed her and went to dice and cited the reason. As he passed the American ambassador, the principal also became flabbergasted, she tried to take hold of the student by the sleeve, but he moved on, while the American diplomat watched in horror and embarrassment.

This student deserve appericiation for what he did. He shows the way to our elite how to act. There are very few peoples among us to have same great courage and strong will to say the reality. I am sure this guy going to be a great person in his life. Inshallah.
Its indeed an honor that we still have lads like that in our country it was something really possitive someone finally standing up. The thing is we love to brag about americans are this and that and blabla but when the time comes we are the first ones to run to the american soil which pretty much sucks. But this lad just put a big smile on my face for the whole day
WISH our politicians should have those guts and shame
