Was Pakistani PM Abbasi frisked at US airport? Here’s the truth.Pakistan: Amid reports of Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi undergoing security check at an airport in US, hinting at further worsening of relations between Pakistan and US, Pakistan-based Geo News has suggested that he voluntarily followed the security procedures.
