(Web Desk): Pakistani singer Farhan Saeed has come under fire for praising fellow artist Talha Anjum, who recently waved the Indian flag at a concert, draped it over his shoulders, and kissed it during his performance.

Talha Anjum act of waving flag sparked severe criticism in Pakistan. Many celebrities, including Nadia Khan, Mishi Khan, and Ali Rehman Khan, condemned him, while Anjum later issued an apology.

Despite this all, Farhan Saeed has expressed his support for Anjum, saying his action spread a message of love and boldness.

Recently, in an interview, Farhan said, “I think he did the right thing. This message of love should come from us. Every bold act receives mixed reactions. Our generation grew up influenced by India, and that soft corner remains. Today’s youth is independent, but anti-Pakistan sentiment in India is rising.”

Social media users reacted strongly on Farhan Saeed statement and criticized him. The comment section ranged from questioning his patriotism to accusing him of praising India excessively.

Some wrote, “Your hearts are not big; you have big desires,” while others were harsher, highlighting their anger at his statements.

This controversy has reignited discussions on patriotism, cross-border relations, and the role of artists in shaping public opinion. Some see Farhan’s comments as promoting love, others view it as ignoring national sentiments.
