Adnan Sami praises Indian Army, faces backlash

Singer received backlash after supporting the attacks

Adnan Sami landed himself in hot water on Friday shared as he declared his full support towards the government and Indian Army.



Sharing his views on the recent strike carried out by India along the Line of Control, Sami tweeted:

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

— Adnan Sami (@AdnanSamiLive) September 29, 2016

His congratulatory tweet naturally received a response from both sides of the border. Some went on to call him a 'traitor' and that made Adnan reply to all the 'haters' -- according to him in another tweet:

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

This is how Twitter reacted to Adnan's patriotism:

A fitting reply from Salman Ahmad:

Never thought I'd ever witness a musician become a warmonger & a spin doctor. Sad day for arts & culture. https://t.co/9nU31n1qNr
