Pakistani PM faces humiliation, put through security check in US
New York: In a major embarrassment for Pakistan, the country’s Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was put through a routine security check at a US airport.
The development comes amid the reports of Donald Trump administration looking into a range of new options, including imposing visa bans to incrementally pressure Pakistan into acting against militants.
A footage aired on Pakistani TV channels showed Abbasi picking up his bag and coat and walking out from a security check.
The incident reportedly took place last week at the JFK airport in New York. Abbasi was on a personal visit to meet his ailing sister.
However Pakistan-based Geo News has suggested that he voluntarily followed the security procedures.
