WJ to Probe Why  Pakistani Plane  Denied Landing

KABUL - The Wolesi Jirga or Lower House of the Parliament has assigned a delegation to unearth why a plane carrying a Pakistani parliamentary delegation was denied landing at Kabul Airport and share its outcome with lawmakers.
The Pakistani Parliament delegation’s plane was not allowed on Thursday to land at Kabul Airport despite its entry to Kabul. The delegation was headed by Pakistan Parliament Speaker AsadQaisar.
The Wolesi Jirga also held a special session behind closed doors in the presence of security officials today (Saturday) to know why the Pakistani plane was not allowed to land. Earlier it was said the session would be openly held.
Mir HaidarAfzali, head of the Wolesi Jirga Defense Committee, said security officials did not provide satisfactory information to the house and it was decided that a delegation from lawmakers would probe the matter.
“It was very bad, when we landed in Islamabad we were warmly received but their plane was not allowed to land at a time when we are known for our hospitality,” he said.
Acting Interior Minister Hayatullah Hayat said due to technical problem specially the discovery of explosives in the airport caused the Pakistani delegation plane not to be allowed to land.
He said a Wolesi Jirga delegation is also probing the issue.
He said: “Pakistani parliamentary delegation was not the guest of Wolesi Jirga only, but they were the guests of all Afghans. They will be warmly received in their trip to Kabul in the future,” he said. (Pajhwok)
