[QUOTE="Archived_Member16, post: 138522, member: 884"] [B][SIZE=5][COLOR=#002060]Indian envoy to UN says refused pat-down search at US airport[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [COLOR=#002060][B]Zeenews Bureau[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#002060] [B]New York/New Delhi:[/B] One of India`s top most diplomats, Hardeep Puri, Ambassador to the United Nations, was asked to remove his turban during an airport `pat-down` search in the US but he refused to oblige, instead opting for another procedure.

On December 4, Shankar was pulled out from an airport security line and patted down by an American security agent in Mississippi despite informing them of her diplomatic status. Shankar was subjected to an enhanced security pat-down at the Jackson-Evers International Airport in Mississippi, ostensibly because she was dressed in a sari. In the past, many prominent Indians, including ministers, have faced some uncomfortable moments at US airports. In September, visiting Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel was quizzed by US immigration authorities at the O`Hare airport in Chicago after his name and date of birth matched with that of another Praful Patel, who is on America`s watch-list. In August 2009, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was detained and questioned at the Newark Liberty International Airport. Khan was headed to Chicago for a parade to celebrate India`s Independence Day, when he was pulled aside by airport authorities for interrogation. Former Defence Minister George Fernandes had claimed that he was strip-searched twice at Dulles Airport in the US Capital area, when he was on an official visit to Washington in early 2002 and another time while en route to Brazil in mid 2003. -Agencies inputs [/COLOR] [COLOR=#002060][B]Source:[/B] [/COLOR][URL="http://www.zeenews.com/news674176.html"][B][U][COLOR=#002060]http://www.zeenews.com/news674176.html[/COLOR][/U][/B][/URL] [/QUOTE]
