Famous Pakistani rapper and singer Talha Anjum recently sparked controversy after waving the Indian flag at his concert. He also kissed the flag, draped it over his shoulders, and stated that art and entertainment have no boundaries, adding that he would continue waving the Indian flag no matter what. His controversial and anti-Pakistan act faced severe public backlash in Pakistan. Nadia Khan, Mishi Khan, Ali Rehman Khan, and others criticized him, and although he later shared an unconditional apology, Pakistani singer Farhan was recently heard praising his actions.
While giving interview to Zahid Noor ARY and Murtaza Shah, Farhan Saeed said, “If you ask me, I think he did the right thing. This message of love should go from our side: we have big hearts. I have no complaints about Pakistanis; my complaints are with Indians. The people there were once very loving and heartwarming. The India I knew and used to visit was different. I spent a lot of time there, and they were genuinely welcoming. I am happy he took this bold step. Whenever you do something bold, you face both types of reactions: some may praise you, while many may say you did wrong. Our generation, while growing up, was influenced by India. Today’s generation, however, has little Indian influence and performs independent acts. Hardly anyone in Pakistan now follows their content. That’s why our generation still has a soft corner for Indians. I want to emphasize that the Pakistani generation today is not anti-India, and yet the anti-Pakistan sentiment in India seems to be rising day by day”
Social media users are criticizing Farhan Saeed. One wrote, “Your hearts are not big; you have big desires.” Another wrote, “This is the religion of people like you (Mirasis and dancers). You love to praise Indians and brag about them.” Another user wrote, “Whom are you asking? This man has sung ‘Dil Dil Hindustan’ in India.” Another wrote, “Go sell your wife in India.” One commented, “Bro, they literally hate us.” Social media users are extremely angry with Farhan Saeed.
