Shahrukh detention: Soni suggests tit for tat

New Delhi, Aug 15 (PTI) Indian government Saturday
reacted sharply to detention of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh
Khan at an US airport, saying many such incidents have taken
place in that country and suggested a tit for tat.

"I am of the opinion that the way we are frisked, for
example I too was frisked, we should also do the same to
them," Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni said.

She said many examples like this have come from the
United States where frisking is done and "beyond permissible
limits".

Khan was detained by US Immigration officers, who wanted
to know why he was visiting the US. Commenting on the
incident, Khan said that he was detained as his name was
similar to someone else.

"I don't understand in the name of religion, frisking can
be done for anyone like this," an angry Soni said. PTI
