ISLAMABAD: The Foreign Office has strongly rejected Indian propaganda against Pakistani community in France following recent incidents including the display of blasphemous cartoons of Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W), and beheading of a middle school teacher.
In a statement, FO spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry said, “.n media and dummy Twitter accounts.”
He was referring to tweets by a Twitter account, pretending to be run by the Pakistan embassy in France, which claimed that the French authorities were deporting Pakistani citizens following Prime Minister Imran Khan’s remarks regarding President Emanuel Macron.
Earlier, President Macron criticised Islamists and vowed not to give up cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W). He also contended that the teacher, who was beheaded last month, was killed because Islamists want our future.
In this regard today (Sunday), FO spokesperson said, “The baseless and misleading information is patently a handiwork of Indian anti-Pakistan propaganda machine working overtime.”
Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry further said, “The Pakistani diaspora in France is law-abiding and contributing positively to the French economy,” adding that they had received no complaints of Pakistani community members facing difficulties in the aftermath of the recent incidents.
The spokesperson also maintained that the official Twitter account of Pakistan’s embassy in France @PakinFrance could be followed for accurate information.
