The outlet in its report stated that the spokesperson debunked media reports on the visa refusal and said that Cairo has not taken any such action.

The Foreign Office also termed the reports that the victims appealed to Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi and Foreign Secretary to take notice on the matter as fake.
