The popular singer who has done playback singing for quite a lot of Bollywood songs, took to his Twitter page and shared that he strongly condemns the 'violence and tyranny being conducted against the Kashmiris.' Post scrapping of Article 370 and 35A of the Constitution of India, the state of Jammu and Kashmir has now been split into two Union Territories - Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
"Happy to share something very big with all of you. Inshallah I’ll be leaving soon for the most important journey of my life. Before departing for Hajj, I would like to ask for everyone’s forgiveness, be it fans, family, friends. Apologies for hurting anyone’s sentiments. kindly keep me in your prayers Also I strongly condemn the violence and tyranny being conducted against the Kashmiris. May Allah bless lives of the innocent in #Kashmir and all over the world" read Atif Aslam's tweet.
The Twitterati didn't waste any time in expressing their views on Atif's tweet. The singer was trolled for his views.
One of the users wrote, "To add a political statement when you are going for such a spiritual journey is extremely sad. Assume you will find it difficult to sing for Indian films for a long time now”.
