A few days ago almost all the English and Urdu newspapers of Pakistan published pictures of US Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron P Munter unloading relief goods from a helicopter at Shukkur Airport for flood victims. It was amazing for the Pakistanis to see such a high profile man carrying a 40 kg pack of floor for the flood victims.

On the other hand, UN Goodwill Ambassador for Refugees and Hollywood star Angelina Jolie criticised the Pakistani Prime Minister and his family as not being interested in supporting the flood victims, rather they were interested in a photo session with her in Islamabad.

It would be a good gesture on part of the President, PM and other ministers, who claim themselves as the servants of masses, to celebrate this Eid with flood victims. What a relief it would be if we see the President and PM following the US Ambassadors lead.

But I have a firm believe in my leaders that they cannot spare themselves for this because of so-called security risk.

On the other hand, bravo, Mr Cameron P Munter!
