New Delhi: Singer Adnan Sami who welcomed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill and said that it is for protection of the people from persecution in theocratic states, have been trolled by the netizens asking him various questions. But he was witty enough and gave them befitting replies and did not shy away from taking a stance and backing the CAA.
The Citizenship Act grants Indian Citizenship to persons belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities who have migrated to India after facing persecution on grounds of religion in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, if they fulfill conditions for grant of citizenship.
As a person named Saleh tweeted to Adnan Sami, “His silence on the issue is enough to prove he sold his soul to BJP…can’t even criticize in fear of his masters.”
Adnan explained to him, “Abay ‘SALEH’!!! I’m not silent! I’ve already stated that The #CABBill is 4 minority religions tht r being persecuted in ‘Theocratic States’. Muslims r NOT persecuted in Pak, Afghan or Bangla cause they r in majority. Muslims CAN still apply legally 4 Indian citizenship like b4.”

Another tweet asked Sami, “What about Hindus from Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar and Christians from Bhutan your privilege maked you blind.”
“These are not THEOCRATIC States! In Sri Lanka, freedom of religion is a protected right in its constitution under Chapter II, Article 9. Nepal, through it’s interim constitution is a secular state. Bhutan is a secular state! Get your facts right before uttering nonsense!” was Adnan’s response.

When one more troll wondered where he would ‘go’ after the implementation of the CAA, he responded, “I love the song “Saare Jahaan se acha, HINDUstan hamara” written by ALLAMA IQBAL! Just saying too!”

As many celebrities had come out on streets to protest against the new law, some like Adnan Sami had wholeheartedly welcomed the government’s decision.
He had tweeted earlier, “The CAB Bill is for religions that are being persecuted in ‘Theocratic States’. Muslims are NOT persecuted for their religion in Pakistan, Afghanistan or Bangladesh because they are in majority over there. Muslims CAN still apply for Indian citizenship like before. All are welcome through the legal ‘Front Door’!”
