Adviser to the Prime Minister on Aviation Division Sardar Mehtab Ahmed Khan Abbasi Wednesday said there was no official information on recovery of narcotics from the PIA plane in London.
Addressing a news conference, he said reports were arriving through media that UK authorities had recovered narcotics from PK-785 that left from Islamabad for London on May 15.
"I am extremely concerned that why UK authorities did not officially share the incident with Pakistan," he remarked.
He said PIA authorities time and again attempted to get official confirmation from British Border Security and National Crimes Agency authorities, but to no avail.
Meanwhile, he said that Pakistan High Commissioner in London had been asked to approach the British authorities and get actual and official stance on the incident. However, he confirmed that the PIA plane had been thoroughly checked and held its crew for seven to eight hours, but they (UK authorities) did not convey anything to Pakistan officially.
Terming the reported incident 'regrettable,' the adviser said it was a matter of Pakistan's dignity and vowed to take the case to its logical end.
