i just got this in my email and wanted to share with you all.
Letter to Mr Adnan Sami Khan, the young Pakistani singer who, in a fit of rage, left Pakistan and traveled to India, settled there, and turned his back on his homeland and his people. Today, he learns the hard way the value of the motherland.
Dear Mr Adnan Sami Khan,
I am your fellow citizen from Pakistan, writing you to ask you: How much more disgrace you are going earn fromyour so-called friends in “India”. You have made your singing career in India, every one admired you but when it came to filing a case for nationality in India, they reminded you that you are a Pakistani and treated you the way they treat their suppressed class known as the untouchables.
Now in your very words, your friend Jagjit Singh has dumped you. How much more you’ll disgrace your legacy, your heritage and your green identity?
Therefore, I, being Pakistani fellow citizen, invite you to come back and start afresh in your own country. Allah will help you in making your way up. The amount of respect you’ll earn by working for your green passport and green flag will be enormous.
The time is right. We welcome you back home to Pakistan. That’s why we call Pakistan “Home”. Home is the place where one can be at peace like nowhere else.
Below is the news report that provoked to write this letter and offer a piece of advice to you to come back home, to Pakistan.
MUMBAI: Singer Adnan Sami refuses to believe that Indian ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh criticised him by saying “he can’t sing and should go back to Pakistan”.
“I can’t believe Jagjit would talk like this about me. He’s always been so sweet to me. I’m his biggest fan. And why would he say I came to India to become an actor?
“When I came here, I weighed three times more than what I am. And why would he accuse me of sending my money to Pakistan? I earn and pay taxes in Mumbai, I can show you my PAN card,” said Adnan.
Singh, who openly acknowledges Mehdi Hassan as his main inspiration, told a website in an interview that Adnan can’t sing and should go back home.
Jagjit Singh was quoted as saying, “He (Adnan) became a singer by mistake. He had come here to become an actor and by mistake he became a singer. He can’t even sing. People like him should be sent back to work there (Pakistan) because they make money in India and send it to Pakistan.”
and is not affected by these “here today gone tomorrow” kind of singers. Abhijeet, on the other hand has moved on to greener pastures (read TV reality shows).
