Wondering why is Adnan Sami receiving a lot of flak on Twitter? Here’s why

Many congratulatory and celebratory messages were posted, directed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is being lauded to have taken a courageous step. Singer Adnan Sami too, joined in the revelry and took to Twitter to write this congratulatory post addressing the Prime Minister: Big Congratulations to @PMOIndia & our brave Armed forces for a brilliant, successful & mature strategic strike against #terrorism ! #Salute

But the singer’s tweet was met with a huge backlash afterwards. Adnan Sami submitted a request for Indian citizenship in May, 2015 after his Pakistani passport expired and was not renewed by the government there. People have criticised Sami for siding with India, in spite of being the “son of a PAF pilot”.

Sami, however, chose to give a fitting reply to these people on the Internet. He said: “Pakistanis r outraged by my earlier tweet. Their outburst clearly means they see Terrorist & Pakistan as the same!”

With this, Adnan became one of the many soft targets of the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan. Twitter has been abuzz with hate for Sami, who was merely expressing his opinion.

With this, Adnan becomes one of the many soft targets of the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan. While MNS workers and supporters have declared that they will boycott artists from Pakistan like Fawad Khan, Ali Fazal, Mahira Khan etc. Sami is being spewed venom at, because he supported India’s stand.

Here is Sami’s tweet that set Twitter users off.

Big Congratulations to @PMOIndia & our brave Armed forces for a brilliant, successful & mature strategic strike against #terrorism ! #Salute

Here are some of the reactions the tweet generated.

@OhTripe @AdnanSamiLive @PMOIndia what a huge traitor! Son of a PAF pilot, shameless to the core.

This was the singer’s retort to the hate.

Pakistanis r outraged by my earlier tweet. Their outburst clearly means they see Terrorist & Pakistan as the same! #selfgoal#stopterrorism

His reply also constituted a very sharp observation, which if thought about, applied to many extremists in both countries.
