Hina Rabbani Khar, Pakistan’s first woman Foreign Minister who returned to Pakistan last evening after a visit to India for talks with her counterpart S M Krishna, reacted angrily to questions pertaining to coverage of her fashion style in leading Indian dailies.
“You see paparazzi are every where. Besides, you (referring to media) should not do such acts,” Khar said, replying to a question at the Lahore airport on her arrival from India, reports PTI.
So irked was she at the question that she refused to take any more questions and left for Islamabad.
During her visit to New Delhi, she was the talk of the town, with the media closely following her fashion accessories.
Such was the focus that even The Wall Street Journal too carried a story on the Indian media’s reporting of Khar’s fashion style.
“From her blue tunic pants ensemble to her Roberto Cavalli shades, everything grabbed Indian eyeballs, with media coverage of her accessories practically overshadowing the India-Pakistan dialogue…,” the Journal said.
Quoting an indian blogger, and I couldn’t agree more….“ You don’t carry a bag that is a serious fraction of your country’s fiscal deficit and not expect it to be commented upon.”!!
It is nobody's business how someone dresses or what bag/purse they carry. The Indian and Pakistani media persons need to learn the ethos of professionalism.
Grow up indians!!
Khar is awesome and she is at her best.
