Ex-senator Mushtaq Ahmed gets hero’s welcome in Islamabad after flotilla mission
Former JI senator Mushtaq Ahmed, who was detained by Israel on October 2 after it intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla, has arrived in Islamabad from Jordan, where he was deported to earlier.
Donning a keffiyeh, Ahmed was accorded a hero’s welcome, with people showering him with petals and adorning garlands on the former lawmaker, a video showed.
Former senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan landed in Islamabad to cheers and applause on Thursday. Khan was part of the Global Sumud Flotilla's mission to Gaza to distribute humanitarian aid. His vessel was intercepted in the late hours of October 1 and he was taken in captivity along with other participants of the GSF. After a week of Israeli captivity, former senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan was released and transported to Amman, Jordan, on the second anniversary of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. #DawnToday
