India wants apology for TSA patdown of diplomat…
India Thursday termed as ‘unacceptable’ the ‘pat down’ search Indian ambassador Meera Shankar was subjected to in the US, the second time in three months, and said it will take up the issue with Washington.
‘I am rather surprised by the way the Indian ambassador to the US has been treated. This has happened for a second time in three months,’ External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna told reporters here.
‘Let me be frank, this is unacceptable to India. We are going to take it up with the government of US that such unpleasant incidents do not recur,’ said Krishna.
He added that there were ‘certain well-established conventions, well-established practices, as to how members of the diplomatic corps are treated in a given country’.
