Angelina Jolie Not Happy With Her Visit to Pakistan by Z. Rehman - Bangkok Post
The philanthropist,
soft-hearted world’s number one female actress, Angelina Julie is not at
all happy with her visit to Pakistan to see the flood victims. She came here,
held the hands of the victims, made donations, stood up with the miseries of
the people, denied any photo sessions, met with the aid agencies, but then she
talks about the darker side of the things.
She is not happy with the attitude of the authorities and the government, who
were more interested in toeing her line, watching her make movements, trying to
please her while pushing the flood victims. She was also perturbed at the Prime
Minister’s wish that his family wanted to meet her. Prime Minster’s
family was especially flown down all the way from Multan
to Islamabad
and they presented expensive gifts to Jolie and had a sumptuous meal with her.
She said that she was feeling awful at that time to see so much food at the
table, suffice for hundreds of flood victims who were fighting like crazy to
get a small bag of flour and a small bottle of water. She was ill at ease when
she saw the interior of lavish Premier house and some of the government
buildings and the chartered planes and other such luxuries, when there was so
much misery outside.
In her report to the United Nations, she has recommended UN to ask Pakistani
government to first cut down on their expenses and to first cut down their
luxuries before asking the aid from the world.
