ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday said Pakistan stands in solidarity with Qatar’s Emir and people as the country faced propaganda while hosting the FIFA World Cup.

“Unfortunate that Qatar is being subjected to a barrage of propaganda as host of FIFA World Cup,” he said in a tweet.

Instead, Shehbaz Sharif said, Qatar should rather be commended for wonderful arrangements for mega event and being a promoter of global peace and development.

It should be noted that Qatar is hosting Football World Cup which started on November 20. It is a big occasion for this Arab country. Qatar is the first Gulf state hosting such a mega event. Qatar was preparing for it since 2010. It has put a lot of resources, efforts and emotions to make the event successful and memorable.

However, many Western countries and propagandists are determined to crush the party. They are trying to use the occasion to malign Qatar by running baseless propaganda on multiple fronts. First, Qatar was targeted for alleged human rights violations. It was propagated that workers were maltreated and 15000 non-Qatari died during the period of 2010-2019.
