Islamabad : A journalist who travelled here with former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif from London said that “it was unbelievable the way Sharif was treated at the Islamabad Airport”.
“He was pushed, thrashed and beaten by the police commandoes. One policeman even kicked him when he refused to hand over his passport,” Rauf Klasra of The News said.
According to Klasra, one of the policemen held Sharif by his collar and pushed him away from the journalists present at the arrival lounge.
Some 60 members of the media, both Pakistani and international, were travelling with Sharif.
Sharif, who spent some four-and-a-half hours at the airport, was later deported to Jeddah, where he arrived Monday evening.
