“Sport is essential in life. Some play football, some tennis, others badminton or squash. @ABhuttow’s daily sport is lie and #Disinformation. His latest record can be watched hereunder,” the French ambassador replied to a comment on X (formerly Twitter).
An individual named Abdur Rab Bhuttow claimed that 10 “pro-government” senior journalists were refused visa to travel to France.
Talking to UNB, the French ambassador said this is “totally false.”
The journalists did not apply in time, for visa, for an event they were planning to attend, said an official.
They will get their visas, though the event will already have taken place, said the official.
