In the UK Parliament, Yana Mir said, "To conclude I am not a Malala Yousafzai. I am free and safe in my country. My homeland Kashmir which is part of India. I will never need to runaway from my homeland and seek refuge in your country. I object to Malala Yousafzai defaming my country, my progressing homeland by calling it oppressed. I object to all such members of toolkit gangs and foreign media who never care to visit Kashmir but run stories of oppression there. I urge you all to stop the polarization of Indians on grounds of religion because we won't let you break us."
Notably, Yana Mir also reacted to the user who shared her story saying, "Thank you Sajid for pushing me to go here, when i was depressed after we lost dad. I would'nt reach here if it wasnt for you. Also this Malala theory was given to me by my sister. So a person is nothing, without family support."
