Imran Khan, Chairman of the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) party and former cricket player was taken off from a flight going US from Canada at Toronto International airport on Friday.
Imran was then reportedly interrogated by US immigration on his view of US drone attacks in Pakistan's restive Waziristan region.
Imran had criticized the attacks just hours before the flight.
Imran tweeted "I was taken off from plane and interrogated by US Immigration in Canada on my views on drones. My stance is known. Drone attacks must stop."
"Missed flight and sad to miss the Fundraising lunch in NY but nothing will change my stance. Still looking forward to meet PTI family there".
He was headed to New York to attend a fundraiser organized by his party's US chapter in Long Island.
