Renowned Pakistani singer Atif Aslam, who was severely criticized for singing Bollywood song at Pakistan’s Independence Day parade held in New York, has responded back to trolls.
Reportedly, Atif not only sang an Indian song at a prestigious event that marked Pakistan’s Independence, he also refused to hold the flag of Pakistan. Consequently, people began to doubt his patriotism.

Responding to the trolls, the singer took to his social media accounts and said, “Simply love my haters. Bayshak Allah izat denay aur rakhnay wala hai. Sabz jhanda meri pehchan hai or mere fans jantay hain k mein iska ehtaram kerna achi tarah janta hun
Mje bohat khushi aur fakhar hai k meray fans fake propaganda Ka jawab dena achi tarah Jantay hain .. I hope NAYE PAKISTAN main un sab logon ko izat dena jaan jayen gae jino ne PAKISTAN ka naam poori duniya mein roshan kia hai.”
Atif also thanked singer, Shafqat Amanat Ali for supporting and defending him while others condemned him, “huge amount of respect for Shafqat Amanat Ali.”
I stand in support with @itsaadee for singing his songs at the parade. Music is not Indian or Pakistani. It is just music! Singers r synonymous with their songs which r loved equally by fans from every country. Should have briefed him if they wanted national songs #AtifAslam
