SRK detention: Ambika Soni suggests tit for tat

August 15, 2009 14:18 IST

The government today reacted sharply to detention of Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan at an US airport, saying many such incidents have taken place in that country and suggested a tit for tat.

"I am of the opinion that the way we are frisked, for example I too was frisked, we should also do the same to them," Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni said.

She said many examples like this have come from the United States where frisking is done and "beyond permissible limits".
"I don't understand in the name of religion, frisking can be done for anyone like this," an angry Soni said.
