Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has contributed $100,000 (about Pakistani 8.5 million rupees) for flood ravaged Pakistan, a move that surpasses President Asif Ali Zardari's five million rupees donation :disagree: and the help extended by most other politicians.

Some leaders have refused to disclose their contribution to the relief effort and claimed that their donation had gone directly to their party's fund.

Dawn reported Wednesday that Jolie has contributed $100,000 while Zardari and Altaf Hussain, chief of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, claimed to have donated 5 million rupees each.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and top leaders of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q, Awami National Party and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-F have not made donations in cash; instead, they donated in kind.

"The prime minister has already said that he does not believe in cash contribution and thus he did not deposit money in the fund, but his son in Multan dispatched many trucks of goods on behalf of the family," Dawn quoted the prime minister's press secretary Shabir Anwar as saying.

The floods started July 28 with heavy monsoon rains and went on to submerge thousands of villages, wash away hundreds of kilometres of roads, dozens of bridges and over 1.7 million acres of crops.

The country's worst natural disaster has killed over 1,600 people and affected about 20 million nationwide, with the threat of disease ever-present in the camps sheltering survivors.

Presidential spokesperson Farhatullah Babar said: "During his recent visit to the UK, President Zardari announced Rs.2.5 million in donation and after his return he contributed another 2.5 million rupees to the prime minister's flood relief fund."

He added that Zardari's children - Bilawal Zardari-Bhutto, Bakhtawar Zardari and Asifa Zardari - had set up a fund in Britain to collect donation from overseas Pakistanis and others.

Pakistan Muslim League-N chief Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and their family have reportedly handed over goods worth 25 million rupees. But there was no contribution in cash.

"Sharif family has sent relief goods amounting to 25 million rupees to flood-hit areas," said PML-N spokesperson Siddiqul Farooq.

He criticised President Zardari for contributing just 5 million rupees.

Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan of the PML-N, has told his party members to donate to the Punjab chief minister's relief fund instead of the prime minister's fund.

Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan's monetary help stood at 500,000 rupees.

"Khan donated 500,000 rupees from his own pocket. He and the party are actively participating in fund-raising campaigns," PTI's spokesperson Tahir Jamil said, and added that Khan would take 300 trucks carrying relief goods to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sunday.

The contribution of PML-Q chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and his family was 25 million rupees in kind.

"Relief goods have been dispatched to Multan, Muzaffargarh, Rajanpur and other parts of Punjab," said Mustafa Malik, PML-Q's deputy information secretary.

A guy whos cash account over 2 billion dollar. His personal asset/properties abroad over a billion. He is totally chicken out, when he saw labor party in UK lost election. Camron emerge from grass roots of UK. Zaradri feell merciless and run to UK,before Camron expose Zaradari and confiscate his assets and handover to Pak govt. Zaradari is worthless, a chicken hidden in the president house cage. He is acting like untouchable. Plus he is US citizen. Then why not a women who is sitting among us, who has all luxuries of life, why she burning and sweating in this harsh weather.
Very few people in this world, those who cross the threshold of materialism and cross the thin line and disappear among the poors. This is the asset of muslim , but others adopted.
 
Don't expect any good from products of NRO and fake degrees ... I don't believe any of their donations are genuine either (let alone meager sums) . If they can break written promises they can do anything . Even though i don't usually involve religious sentiments in such discussions but a saying of Muhammad (PBUH) comes to my mind where he says ' a hypocrate has three qualities ... 1. He lies when he talks (roti ....kapra aur makan) ... 2. He breaks his promise ( oh yes we know that of Zardari) 3. whenever he is given a trust he betrays it (Mr. 10 % fame... and how else u can have massive swiss bank accounts) . Yet the illitrate masses continue to vote for these unholy spirits and invite wrath upon themselves...
 
It makes a very poor impression. Zardari owns mansions in both England and France. If, when he went to Europe, he used part of his time to sell ONE of them, with the proceeds going to flood relief, then it would be different. But it appears he doesn't want to flake any skin off his own nose for the sake of the country he presides over.

I think even he is an idiot corrupt politician. If i was as corrupt as him and a politician i would have sold the house and what ever i gave i would have gave it after that and gave a media statement that i was short of cash so i sold my house to give money to my nation. this guy seriously need some fast track classes from Indian corrupt politicians. they are corrupt but still know how hold the strings of people.

She'll do a better job as President of Pakistan than Zardari has.
