Paris: The Consulate General of Pakistan has appealed to French authorities to allow temporary residence of the sister of Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, who is in the country to see her ailing mother-in-law. Writing on Twitter, the consulate said, "After cross-checking the list of deportees assigned to us, we have found the name of Lt. Ahmed Shuja Pasha's sister there. We have requested French authorities to provide a temporary stay to see her sick mother-in-law. "

It further said that the French authorities have rejected 183 visitor visas following PM Imran Khan's remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron. "183 visitor visa provided to our citizens has been found to be rejected by French authorities following the criticism by PM Imran khan. 118 citizens with proper documents were deported forcefully. We're currently in touch with french authority to give our citizens temporary stay", the Consulate has tweeted.

Last month Samuel Paty, a school teacher, was beheaded by an 18-year-old teenager on the outskirts of Paris after he showed cartoons depicting the Prophet during a lesson. Macron vowed to fight "Islamist separatism", which he said was threatening to take control in some Muslim communities around France. Paty has been posthumously awarded France's highest award, the Legion d'Honneur, and was remembered at the national ceremony at the Sorbonne College in Paris.
