Shireen Mazari firm on her stand against France
Lahore, 23rd November: Shireen Mazari has stood firm against France on her principled stand.
According to a Baaghi TV report, Federal Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari has stuck to her principled position. She says she has not and will not apologize to France for her statement regarding Emmanuel Macron.
In an interview with an Urdu website, Mazari said that the West was acting hypocritically and arrogantly in the name of freedom of expression. She felt insulted on the tweet about the French President who insulted the religion, Islam.
“France expects us to respect freedom of expression, so where did the freedom of expression go in Macron’s turn?” Mazari was quoted as saying. She informed that when the source where she read the news apologized to her, she deleted her tweet.
The French Envoy to Pak sent me the following message and as the article I had cited has been corrected by the relevant publication, I have also deleted my tweet on the same. pic.twitter.com/mgOS5RFYwm

“There is no reason to apologize. I read the news and gave my analysis. When the news came back, I deleted the tweet, saying that France had accepted the apology.” “I want to make it clear that I have neither apologized nor intended to do so,” she said.
It should be noted that the Federal Minister for Human Rights Shireen Mazari compared the attitude of French President Macron towards Muslims as the treatment to that of Nazi Jews.
Read link 4 source of story – if fake then get retraction of story published which I gave as link @FranceinPak instead of calling my tweet "fake"! Btw why are nuns allowed to wear their "habit" in public places but Muslim women not their hijab? Discrimination, n'est ce pas? pic.twitter.com/C7ApMN92EJ

“French President Macron is treating Muslims in the same way that the Nazis treated Jews. In France, it has been decided to give identification numbers to Muslim children, just like the Nazis,” Mazari was quoted as saying in a tweet. In Germany, Jews were forced to wear a yellow star on their clothing for identification.
