Singer Adnan Sami who denounced his citizenship of Pakistan to become a full time inhabitant of India has proved his loyalty towards the nation multiple times. Recently, Sami schooled the CM of Andhra Pradesh YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for his separatist tweet on SS Rajamouli’s RRR winning big on international platforms.
It all began when Reddy took to Twitter to congratulate the team of RRR for lifting the prestigious Golden Globe Award in the Best Original Song category. It has got the trophy for its track ‘Naatu Naatu’. In his tweet, he wrote about how he is proud of a Telugu-origin movie gaining appreciation globally and creating history. Jagan said that the ‘Telugu flag is flying high’.
“The #Telugu flag is flying high! On behalf of all of #AndhraPradesh, I congratulate @mmkeeravaani, @ssrajamouli, @tarak9999, @AlwaysRamCharan and the entire team of @RRRMovie. We are incredibly proud of you! #GoldenGlobes2023,” read the tweet of Andhra CM.
However, his tweet did not go down well with Adnan. He immediately responded to Jagan’s tweet and asked him not to separate his state from the rest of the country.
“Telugu flag? You mean INDIAN flag right? We are Indians first & so kindly stop separating yourself from the rest of the country…Especially internationally, we are one country! This ‘separatist’ attitude is highly unhealthy as we saw in 1947!!! Thank you…Jai HIND,” penned Adnan.
Soon after, many netizens also expressed their disappointment over YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s tweet. A user wrote, “Had it been said that India’s Flag is flying high, that would have been much better.” Another stated, “Today Telugu flag tomorrow Christian Cross right? Such a shameful and divisive statement. they are Indian.”
For the unversed, RRR’s song Naatu Naatu picturised on Jr NTR and Ram Charan has scripted history by winning Golden Globe Award in the Best Original Song category. It is composed by veteran music director MM Keeravaani.
