Pakistan Foreign Office has taken serious notice of Maulana Abdul Sattar Edhi’s manhandling in US and has strongly urged the US Embassy to let Mr Edhi go. Hectic Efforts are being made to resolve the situation.
In a move that has shocked Pakistanis, famous social worker Maulana Abdul Sattar Edhi’s passport and green card have been confiscated by US immigration authorities.
The man known as Pakistan’s “Mother Teresa” has been instructed not to exit New York — after U-S immigration officials held him at JKF airport for 8-12 hours. A spokesman for the Edhi Foundation told Geo News that Mr Edhi was questioned at John F Kennedy airport for not residing in the U-S as required by green card holders.
