New Delhi:
India Friday asserted it will take up the issue of Bollywood star
Shah Rukh Khan's detention at a New York airport with the US
authorities and made it clear to Washington that "a policy of
detention and apology" cannot continue.
External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna has asked India's
Ambassador to the US Nirupama Rao to take up the matter with the
US authorities, said sources in India's external affairs ministry
here.
He also made it clear that this policy of detention and apology by
the US cannot continue, the sources said.
Shah Rukh was detained at New York's White Plains airport for two
hours Thursday as he arrived to visit Yale University, where he
was honoured as a Chubb Fellow. The actor, who was detained by the
immigration authorities, was allowed to go only after his hosts
intervened and took up the issue with the Department of Homeland
Security in Washington, according to sources.
Subsequently, the US customs and border protection authorities
expressed "profound" apologies over Khan's detention.
Before addressing the students at Yale University after joining
the roster of Yale University's Chubb Fellows, one of the Ivy
League institution's highest honours, for promoting human ideals
through art, Shah Rukh recalled he was "detained" at the airport
"as always happens".
In August 2009 also, Khan was stopped at the Newark Airport and
was released after two hours at the intervention of the Indian
consulate in New York.
