New Delhi: Pakistani-origin singer Adnan Sami, who is now an Indian citizen, has hailed the Indian Army for conducting surgical strikes on terror labs across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. On being trolled on Twitter by Pakistanis, he said their outburst clearly means they fail to distinguish between “terrorist and Pakistan”.
The singer, who received his certificate of Indian citizenship earlier this year, had first tweeted: “Big Congratulations to PMO India and our brave armed forces for a brilliant, successful and mature strategic strike against terrorism! Salute.”
Big Congratulations to @PMOIndia & our brave Armed forces for a brilliant, successful & mature strategic strike against #terrorism ! #Salute

Mr Adnan, whose father Arshad Sami Khan was a diplomat and served as Pakistan’s ambassador to 14 countries, angered many Twitter users, including Salman Ahmad of Pakistani band Junoon.
“Being the son of a Pakistani ambassador should’ve told you that no one wins a war between nuclear states. According to your twisted logic, your father too has served as a terrorist ambassador. Have you disowned your parents too,” Salman Ahmad questioned Mr Adnan.
