'We Don't Need Atif Aslam': Pakistani Singer's Bollywood Comeback Sparks Twitter Storm With Viral Post On India's Article 370
Amid reports that Pakistani singer Atif Aslam is poised to make a Bollywood comeback after nearly seven years in the upcoming film "LSO90's" (Love Story of the 90's), featuring actors Adhyayan Suman and Miss Universe Diva, Divita Rai, an old post is going viral where the singer criticises India for its decision to revoke Article 370 of the Indian Constitution.
Twitter users recall his opposition to the revocation of Article 370 by the Indian government; one comment reads, "We don't need #AtifAslam in Bharat."
"#Boycott_Atifaslam" was also created by the users.?
Revocation Of Article 370??
In 2019, the Indian government revoked the special status, or autonomy, granted to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. Jammu and Kashmir, a region administered by India as a state and a subject of dispute among India, Pakistan, and China since 1947, was affected by this decision.
Following the revocation, communication lines in the Kashmir Valley were cut off, and it took five months for them to be restored. The government deployed additional security forces to prevent potential uprisings. Several prominent Kashmiri politicians, including the former chief minister, were detained. Government officials claimed these measures were taken to preempt violence and justified the revocation as a means to grant people in the state access to government programmes such as reservation, right to education, and right to information.
