Toronto: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was off-loaded from a United States flight bound for New York from Toronto at Toronto Pearson International Airport, here on Friday.

According to sources, the PTI chairman along with other PTI activists were off-loaded from the passenger plane and investigated by US officials.

“The US officials inquired Imran Khan regarding his stance on drone strikes and the usage of fund collected in a dinner organized by Toronto franchise of PTI,” they said adding that inquiry lasted for an hour.

The PTI leader and other activists were later allowed to travel by U.S officials and now they were waiting for the next flight to New York.

It is to be mentioned here that Imran Khan is considered as an outspoken critic of drone strikes used by US to target terrorists in Waziristan area of Pakistan.

PTI recently carried out a protest rally, joined by International activists across the globe, against drone strikes from Islamabad to South Waziristan. The rally demanded U.S. to halt drone strikes as they were striking at innocent people.

I like the American security measures. They don’t let anyone
go through no matter who he is. Imran khan is nothing, has no power. He is just
a cricketer. All countries should do what America is doing to keep its people safe from lunatic islamic terrorists!

  Dear, he did not say anything bad to the US. He’s a humanitarian, and stands against what is wrong.

No
worries, it would make IK’s PTI more strong and popular. By the way, if
it was Maulana diesel, NS, zardari, altaf, asfandyar etc, they would
have welcomed them !!! What they got from his interrogation ? His stance
changed ? No……..it would remain the same, as he is a man of
principles. Curse on US and her allies.
