The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Saturday expressed disappointment over the recent episode of Shah Rukh Khan's detention at the Los Angeles Airport in the United States and sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan was denied visa by the United Kingdom.
Speaking to ANI, NCP leader Majeed Memon appealed to the US, UK and other countries that only because somebody's name is Muslim, they should not jump to the conclusion that the person dangerous, and, thereafter insult, humiliate and harass him.
"It is very distressing that after Shah Rukh Khan was detained and harassed at Los Angeles airport, only because his name happens to be Khan. He made a movie some time back 'My Name is Khan'. I think he should make a band and wear on his chest saying ?My Name is Khan and I am not a terrorist.? US has done it earlier also at the New York Airport," Memon said. "Now we are sorry to find that Amjad Ali Khan has been denied visa by UK because his name happens to be Khan. This is very unfortunate. I appreciate that both UK and US are very careful in the matters of security. No doubt, we don't dispute that.
