The Vice President’s “candid” photos from the trip sparked criticism on Monday because of how strikingly similar they were to Angelina Jolie’s photos from her trip to Pakistan in 2010.
Cheap third class copy of #AngelinaJolie are roaming around in Pakistan. The whole family is desperately trying to be british. Shame on her. #MaryamNawaz went to met flood affected people of south Punjab with full protocol. Kuch to khuda ka khouf karain.#بغیرت_بڈھی pic.twitter.com/cN3VXkHS9S

As the images gained popularity on social media, trolls began calling her out for “using people’s anguish and sadness as a photo-op for her PR campaign” and accusing her of copying Angelina Jolie’s 2010 visit to Pakistan.
Social media users drew attention to the fact that she arrived in a disaster-stricken area in a dozen automobiles, with security guards and motorcycles.
