According to the press release issued by Khurshid Ahmed, minister's information officer, late on Thursday night, Khan is deeply hurt by the humiliation and would come back after delivering a short lecture. Khan has also decided to cancel all other engagements scheduled during his stay in US. Khan was reportedly questioned and harassed at Boston airport by the officials despite the fact that he had a diplomatic passport. Khan claimed that he was insulted and harassed only because he is a Muslim.
Khan, the press release stated, said that he had gone to America not for a pleasure trip but on the invitation of Harvard University to deliver lecture on how the state government organised Mahakumbh mela in Allahabad earlier this year, The Mahakumbh is the largest religion congregation lasting for three months. It saw participation of over 10 crore people from across the world. Khan said that the behaviour of the US officials was highly deplorable.
It is not the first time that an Indian has been subjected to harassment in US. Earlier, people like former President APJ Abdul Kalam and Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan have also been subjected to similar humiliation. Even former defence minister George Fernandes was strip-searched twice in Dulles Airport in the US during an official visit to Washington. In 2010, India's envoy to Washington, Meera Shankar was also humiliated in the name of search at an airport in US.
