Washington: The Samajwadi Party has reacted strongly to the frisking and detention of senior leader and Urban Development Minister Mohammad Azam Khan at Boston’s Logan International Airport in the United States on Thursday.
Mr. Khan, who was accompanying Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav for a lecture at Harvard University on the successful logistics of the Mahakumbh event organised in Allahabad this year, has threatened to curtail his visit in protest against what he described as misbehaviour by the American officials.
In a statement released here through his information officer after midnight on Thursday, Mr. Khan alleged that he had been humiliated by the American authorities because he was a Muslim.
