Nadia Jamil offloaded from flight, Suffer at Heathrow Airport
Pakistani actress Nadia Jamil on Saturday condemned the British Air Ways for the treatment meted out to her at the London’s Heathrow Airport. In a series of tweets, Nadia said she was taken off the flight and was told by British Air Ways staff to go home. “I have never had such a traumatic & awful experience in my life. Cancer & chemotherapy was easier than [the] treatment I got at @britishairways Heathrow. Abandoned in a wheelchair with suitcases lying all around me. Curt, nasty attitudes. Contradictory requests. Exhausted, drained, depleted,” Nadia wrote on Twitter. The actress Nadia said she lost her National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) and was planning to travel with a photocopy of her NICOP and an expired Pakistani identity card.
