The French ambassador to Bangladesh, Marie Masdupuy, has rejected a claim by a section that ten senior journalists’ visa applications had been refused.
The ambassador described the claim as a “lie and disinformation”.
A person named Abdur Rab Bhuttow alleged that 10 ‘pro-government’ senior journalists were denied visas to travel to France.
Talking to UNB, the French ambassador said this was “totally false”.
The journalists did not apply for visas in time for an event they wanted to attend, an official said.
They will get their visas even though the event has already taken place, the official said.
