While endorsing positive image of Pakistan, blogger Katherine George, who has been highly impressed with the beauty of Pakistan, labeled it as the country with the best destinations in the world.
She urged her friends to visit Pakistan and quoted in a tweet, “No one in the world respects women as much as Pakistani men. Very respectful and humble” and “Pakistan is a country that loves and respects women.”
Pakistan has the best tourist destinations in the world. Pakistan is a Piece of Heaven on Earth. I urge my friends all over the world to visit and explore beauty of Pakistan. #BeautifulPakistan https://t.co/7AqOlCYsSB

Soon after her tweet went viral, several internet users condemned her thoughts as a paid blogger, to which she clarified that she only posts a positive image about Pakistan which isn’t doing any wrong to anyone.
However, the tweet was deleted by the blogger later.
I only tweet positive news about Pakistan and also share positive news by various bloggers who visit Pakistan. What is my crime that all people are using stupid innuendos and going gaga over these positive tweets that are not targeting anyone?

Moreover, Tv host George Fulton grilled the blogger for stating sweet things about Pakistan that depicts paid content.
He targeted bloggers Cynthia Ritchie and Harris Richard by calling them paid robots, who are serving as ‘sweet talkers’ for Pakistan.
@iKatherineGeorg what pisses me off about Bots like you, “Katherine” is you undermine real goras who want to say nice things (and sometime not so nice things) about Pk. Everything we say is suspicious propaganda thanks to the like of you and @CynthiaDRitchie and @HarrisRichard77 https://t.co/wAkPyddvbZ

Unaware of George, Cynthia invited him for a zoom call and a meet-up when she visits Karachi to get to know each other better.
I’m confused, George. Are you calling me (& Richard) a bot? Would you like to have a Zoom call to get to know me?
Otherwise, I’m not sure why you seem to dislike me. You don’t know me. Odd.
Also, I’ll be in Khi soon. Happy to meet in person.
Cheers. https://t.co/FU2pww34rg

Continuing the conversation, George questioned Cynthia for being a paid sponsor for promoting good image of Pakistan.
No, Cynthia you’re not a Bot you are real. But can you answer me this: are you paid to promote Pakistan by certain special interests?
— George Fulton (@GeorgeFulton1) March 29, 2021
She clarified the confusion adding that her love for Pakistan is beyond words.
Cynthia said she preferred to work on projects that will add value to the country and it doesn’t matter to her if anyone has a different thought about it.
No, I’m not paid to promote anything. Are you paid to?
Like you, I have a love for Pakistan and its people.
I take some projects, others I pass on. I try to be objective in all my work. I don’t do propaganda.
Some dislike me because I don’t promote their narrative.

The heated discussion among foreigners while promoting tourism in Pakistan didn’t end here as T-vlogger Richard Harris challenged George over calling him a ‘paid robot’.
My challenge to @GeorgeFulton1 or any of his ilk to a debate on what it means to support Pakistan and who is engaging in propaganda…

George requested Harris to film a video message instead.
Dear @HarrisRichard77 send this message as a video message and I will be willing to conduct a mea culpa and that you are you who you say you are. But we have never seen your face just audio recordings with a distinct British Pakistani tinge. https://t.co/YXscfYNKNk
