PM Abbasi reportedly undergoes security check at US airport
Prime Minister (PM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had to reportedly undergo a security check at a United States (US) airport, regarded as an ‘indignity’ to holders of top offices, during a recent visit to the country.
Footage aired on Pakistani TV channels over the past two days shows Abbasi picking up his bag and coat and walking out from a security check at what they said was an American airport. Abbasi was in the US last week on a private trip to visit his ailing sister but he also met vice-president Mike Pence in an unscheduled engagement at which he was bluntly told Pakistani has to do more to address concerns about its nurturing of terrorist groups.
