  "account": "The Senate Rules of Procedure and Privileges Committee has directed both Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and the Airport Security Force (ASF) to take disciplinary action against employees accused of misbehaving with lawmakers. The committee, led by Senator Syed Waqar Mehdi, examined three motions related to alleged misconduct by PIA cabin crew and ASF personnel.\n\nOne motion, proposed by Senator Bilal Ahmed Khan Mandokhail, concerned a PIA cabin crew member's inappropriate behavior on flight PK-326 from Quetta to Islamabad on February 7, 2026. The senator expressed dissatisfaction that no official from PIA had contacted him to request an apology. The committee recommended that the crew member face departmental action.\n\nAnother motion, brought forward by Senator Samina Mumtaz Zehri, involved ASF officials' alleged misconduct during check-in for Emirates flight EK-601 on July 24, 2026. The senator claimed an ASF official had searched her hand-carry bag and behaved inappropriately during the inspection. A senior ASF officer apologized and promised to inform the appropriate authorities and Pakistan Customs about the incident. The committee suggested that the agency improve staff training in public interactions and instructed that the investigation be finished within 15 days. They also demanded that the officer responsible be present at the committee's next session.",
