A heated social media clash erupted between former Pakistani minister Fawad Chaudhry and singer Adnan Sami Khan. The argument happened following India’s decision to expel Pakistani nationals after the Pahalgam attack.
Chaudhry sarcastically questioned whether India’s order would apply to those of Pakistani origin like Sami, who now holds Indian citizenship. The comment triggered an angry response from Sami, who called Chaudhry an “Ignorant fool.”
The exchange grew more controversial when Chaudhry mentioned Sami’s Lahori background. Sami quickly corrected him, insisting he was from Peshawar, another city in Pakistan.
This response appeared contradictory given Sami’s past admissions about actively seeking Indian citizenship for 18 years, including a period of being stateless. Sami previously claimed he felt unsafe in Pakistan, despite having built a successful music career there.
The sharp exchange highlighted ongoing tensions between the two nations, with Sami’s vocal support for India contrasting with his Pakistani roots. Critics argue his citizenship switch reflects personal convenience rather than principle.
Especially as he now enjoys Indian support while relations between the countries remain strained. The online dispute highlights the complex dynamics of national identity and loyalty within the context of India-Pakistan relations.
