KP CM Khattak's wife barred from boarding flight to US at Peshawar airport

PESHAWAR - Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak's wife was prevented from boarding a flight at Peshawar airport due to incomplete documentation, local media reported.

Amira was offloaded from a flight heading to the United States at the Bacha Khan International Airport as she did not possess the National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP),  Pakistani passport or a US visa.

When chief minister's wife, who holds a US passport, was asked to produce documents, she presented the CNIC as her travel document, however,  it was not categorised as a proper documentation.

On 13 May 2013, Chairman PTI, Imran Khan nominated Pervez as the CM of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the top post in the province where Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) is the single largest party with 45 out of 99 seats, the party gained another 10 seats through allocation which increased its total seats to 55.

The five-year term of the provincial government is going to complete this month, and the name of the caretaker chief minister has been selected by the govt and opposition.
