Pakistani passengers who were stranded in Malaysia after one of the PIA planes was held up by authorities have returned home.

According to the details, 54 passengers reached Islamabad from Kuala Lumpur via flight QR-632. The national carrier plane was stopped for failing to pay arrears of lease following orders from a court in Malaysia.

On arrival at Islamabad airport, the stranded Pakistanis piled up complaints against Pakistani embassy officials in Malaysia and the PIA staff.

The passengers said the PIA and the diplomatic staff did not cooperate with them and provided no food or also did not arrange any sort of accommodation.

As reported, the passengers slept on the floor of the Kuala Lumpur Airport for two days.
