KARACHI: The Pakistan Embassy in Washington on Wednesday rejected media reports about visa refusals to US citizens of Pakistani origin because of their links to the PTI, terming the them “misinformation and disinformation”, Dawn.com reported.

In its statement on reports of visa refusals, the Pakistan Embassy said: “The embassy dispels any rumours about visa rejections for Pakistani-Americans. The embassy continues to offer seamless visa assistance to Pakistani-Americans and overseas Pakistanis.”

There was no truth to the “rumours about denial of visas to Pakistani-Americans or request for visas being ‘rejected’. This is misinformation and disinformation,” the embassy said in a statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
