PM walks, lavish spending but no seats for media
WASHINGTON: Pakistani diplomats are unable to explain why Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and his entourage were treated almost with contempt when they arrived at the Andrews Air Force Base on Sunday afternoon.
The prime minister was made to walk from his plane to the shed, almost a two-three minute walk, where at the shed gate none higher than Assistant Secretary Richard Boucher met him. During the walk, Gilani and his wife were seen quite perturbed as neither there was an ordinary carpet nor the customary red carpet, as is usual on official visits. |
