Illiterate Idiot: Adnan Sami Fires Former Pakistan Minister For Questioning His Nationality After Pahalgam Terror Attack

Adnan Sami has criticised Fawad Chaudhry, former Information and Broadcasting Minister of Pakistan , after he questioned the singer's nationality. The Pahalgam terror attack has stirred tensions between the two countries, with a blanket ban being imposed on Indian artists working with their Pakistani counterparts. Sami, who has obtained an Indian citizenship, was questioned over his nationality by a former Pakistani minister, inviting a straightforward and sharp reply from the former.  

Fawad Chaudhry commented on a post that talked about the Indian government's decision to ask Pakistani nationals to leave the country in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack. Chaudhry said on this post, "What about Adnan Sami?" The singer responded to it, writing, "Who’s going to tell this illiterate idiot!! (Laughing face emoji)." Sami got his Indian citizenship in December 2015.
