Says the Pakistani flag is my identity and my fans know that I respect it a lot
Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 10th August, 2018) Singer Atif Aslam has responded to his critics for performing Indian song at the Pakistani Independence Day parade in New York yesterday.
The singer faced severe criticism on social media after he sang one of his Bollywood songs at a Pakistani event in New York.
Following the criticism, the singer took to social media and said, "Simply love my haters. Undoubtedly, Allah is the only one who can make someone worthy of respect or not. The Pakistani flag is my identity and my fans know that I respect it a lot."
Thanking his fans for the support, the singer wrote, "I am happy and proud that my fans know how to respond to propaganda against me."
The Bol actor hoped that people in 'Naya Pakistan' learn to respect those who have made the country proud.
While many had criticised Atif for singing Tera Hone Laga Hoon from the 2009 film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, fellow singer Shafqat Amanat Ali had defended him.
“I stand in support with Atif Aslam for singing his songs at the parade. Music is not Indian or Pakistani. It is just music! Singers are synonymous with their songs which are loved equally by fans from every country. Should have briefed him if they wanted national songs," he tweeted.
