Prominent Deobandi cleric Tariq Jameel of Tableeghi Jamaat was offloaded from a Canada-bound flight at Dubai airport due to lack of security clearance by relevant security officials.

According to media reports, Afridi said security officials were directed by the airline to offload Jameel over security clearance issues.
