Angelina Jolie Not Happy With Her Visit to Pakistan

[ajtr]

Jolie spills the beans​

It is said a friend in need is a friend indeed. Similarly, friendly advices are often hard to come, as people prefer to play to the gallery or try to avoid an embarrassing situation by calling a spade a spade.
Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie, however, was categorical and realistic to the core when she made a candid observation on her visit to flood-ravaged Pakistan. Jolie, who raised funds for the deluged Pakistanis, said that she was not happy with her visit as she felt that authorities concerned were more interested in photo ops with dignitaries and are less or least bothered about the impending human tragedy at hand. This demands genuine courage to say it so many words. And Jolie did that right away.

In her report to the United Nations, Jolie who is also UNHCR’s goodwill ambassador and has been to flashpoints across the world, recommended the UN to ask Pakistani government to cut down on their luxurious expenses before asking for aid from the world at large. What compelled her to say it in no small words is anybody’s guess. But she has inevitably made a point. The dual-standards at work in Pakistan, and for that matter in any developing country, when it comes to addressing pressing issues of humanitarian aid, is no rocket science to observe and interpret. Moreover, governments profess of austerity measures and at the same time indulge in extravaganzas at the cost of taxpayers’ money. Jolie says she was perturbed to see that no less than the prime minister’s family was interested in dining with her in fanfare and bonanza, and had the audacity of doling out expensive gifts. No doubt, Jolie is a celebrity but she was in Pakistan at a time of national tragedy, and that too to offer a helping hand. It is quite natural that she was disturbed to see dichotomy at work in the corridors of power. And that too at a time when the incumbent political dispensation is in the range of fire on alleged charges of corruption and mis-governance. She is right in saying that charity begins at home. One can only hope Jolie’s advice and regrettable feelings would spur 
some introspection.

How can Anjelina Jolie even be an alternative to Zaid Hamid?
She is far better looking.
She speaks much less, but much more sense.
Most of all; She does'nt wear a "funny red cap".

She was here to visit flood affected people but government officials were more interested in photo sessions with their families and hosting sumptuous lunch/dinners and giving her their visiting cards and that included no less than PM himself and his ministers. Ahh Pity.......

I received a SMS whose contents are
" Pakistan's elite was not interested in rescuing flood victims, everybody was just trying to have some snaps with me. Even PM called his family from Lahore on government expense for photo session with me.I was surprised to see dining table full of expensive items"..........

Anglina Jullie's Report to U.N

I don't know authenticity of this text but people are sure about it Cause there was no one from political side but PA, PN, PAF, some NGOs and our friends all over the world

Damn, even if Jolie is going hard on Zardari. Honestly, a revolution isn't far away if this keeps on going.

politicians are just corrupt. Army has more interest in helping country rather than taking photos and dining with expensive foods.

 

[alibaz]

I hope she keeps visiting, she is getting noticed and her criticism will definitely make a change for the good.
