Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
No, friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion. So, for example, when we apply some force on an object from its left to right, friction will generate from the right to left of the object. And when we apply force from its right to left, friction will generate from right to left of the object.
The correct statement would be that friction does not always act in the direction of motion.
