She had expressed these views in a tweet while sharing an article on the subject.
An account run by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs responded to the minister’s tweet in a statement, terming Mazari’s claims ‘deeply shocking and insulting’.
After French Foreign Minister urged the Pakistan government to withdraw the claims, the minister deleted her tweet. She also tweeted a screenshot of the French envoy’s message to her about the tweet. The article that her tweet linked to was later amended after which the tweet stood false.
