Lahore: The Pakistan government has banned special treatment for VIPs given by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to influential people at airports across the country, the Pak media reported on Monday.
“We have decided to strictly implement the decision to provide equal opportunities to all travellers without any discrimination,” information minister Fawad Chaudhry said.
“We have seen that influential people used to seek the assistance of FIA officials at airports who (officials) accompanied them to promptly clear their luggage,” the Minister said.
In case any FIA official is caught giving protocol to a VIP, he would face strict action, the Ministry warned.
