A controversy erupted over ICCR sponsoring air tickets of four Indian authors to attend the Karachi Literature Festival (KLF) amidst frosty Indo-Pak ties even as the cultural body maintained that it did so at the recommendation of the Indian High Commission in Islamabad.

“We only bought air tickets for four Indian authors and we did so at the recommendation of our High Commission in Islamabad.

“We have not sponsored the KLF. We have a very limited role,” Director General of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) Amarendra Khatua told PTI.
