Singer Adnan Sami has once again spoken out strongly against the Pakistani Army, revealing that his decision to leave Pakistan was due to disappointment with the military system. In a recent post on X, he shared a conversation he had with young Pakistani men in Baku, Azerbaijan.
“Met some very sweet Pakistani boys while walking on the beautiful streets of Baku,” Sami wrote. “They said, ‘Sir, you are very lucky. You left Pakistan at a good time. We also want to change our citizenship. We hate our army. They have destroyed our country!’ I replied, ‘I knew this long ago!’”
Adnan Sami, who was born in the UK to a Pakistani father and Indian mother, moved to India in 2001. He held Pakistani and Canadian citizenship before officially becoming an Indian citizen in 2016. Since then, he has often criticised Pakistan and its military leadership.
His recent post comes during rising tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, in which 26 people died. Calling it a “horrific crime against humanity,” Sami publicly mourned the victims.
After a journalist referenced India’s advisory for Pakistani nationals to leave the country, former Pakistani Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry mocked Sami by asking, “What about Adnan Sami?” Sami responded harshly, calling Chaudhry “illiterate” and a “dumba,” also correcting him on his roots, saying, “My roots are from Peshawar, not Lahore.”
Sami’s bold statements have once again drawn attention to his firm views on Pakistan and his support for India.
