Scanning at US airport: FATA delegation returns home
A six-member delegation of the National Assembly and Senate returned to Pakistan in protest after refusing a body scan at the Washington International Airport.
Head of the delegation Senator Abbas Khan Afridi said they were asked for a body-scan but they refused, as they considered it an insult to parliamentarians of a sovereign country.
He said they were informed before their arrival in the US that they would not face any such discrimination during their visit. The delegation comprised Senator Hafiz Rasheed, Member National Assembly Akhwand Zada Chattan, Sajid Hussain Toori, Muhammad Kamran and Jawad.
