ISLAMABAD – The foreign ministry on Sunday clarified that Shehryar Khan Afridi, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, was cleared as per routine from the US airport recently.
Foreign Office spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said Afridi arrived in New York via flight QR-0701 at 1515 hours on September 15 2021.
“As noted by the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington, as a first time visitor, Afridi had secondary screening briefly and was cleared in routine without any guarantees being sought or given by anyone from the Embassy or the Consulate. Some social media posts and news reports in this regard are contrary to the facts,” he added.
