Pogba rubbishes reports of him quitting France football over Macron's "Islamist Terrorism" remark
Star footballer Paul Pogba on Monday rubbished reports of him quitting playing international football for France over French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments on “Islamist Terrorism”.
Earlier, several media reports had suggested that Pogba had reportedly quit international football after comments from French President Emmanuel Macron alleging that Islam was the source of international terrorism.
And the French government’s decision to honour the teacher who published offensive images of the prophet Muhammad, which Pogba reportedly resented, was also said to be behind the move.
Pogba on Monday took to his official Instagram handle and rubbished the reports. He shared a picture of one of such reports in his Instagram stories and labeled it as “Unacceptable, Fake News”.
According to the earlier reports that had alleged Pogba had quit international football, the decision from the footballer had come in the wake of the beheading of teacher Samuel Paty, 47, who was attacked on his way home from the junior high school where he taught in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, 40km northwest of Paris.
President Macron had described the murder as an ‘Islamic terrorist attack’ that took the life of the French teacher.

The department also listed certain measures in this regard, which include: strictly prohibiting children from being made to dance to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes; selecting songs that are inspiring, positive, instilling national pride in children and reflecting the greatness, dignity, values, culture, and morality of the state.
Stating that the school headmaster and management are responsible for selecting songs and dances for cultural programmes, it said, they should also ensure that students wear decent clothes in dance or cultural programmes.
