Pakistani Rapper Talha Anjum Sparks Debate After Waving Indian Flag at Nepal Concert

Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum has found himself at the center of controversy once again after waving the Indian flag during a recent concert in Nepal. The gesture, which was intended as a symbol of goodwill and friendship, has sparked mixed reactions from fans and social media users alike.

During the performance, Anjum waved the Indian flag while his fellow rapper Talha Yunus, who was also on stage, held up the Nepali flag to express appreciation for the local audience. The moment was captured by fans and quickly shared on social media, with many praising the act as a gesture promoting peace and harmony across borders.

In a statement, the rappers explained that the act was meant to show respect for their international audience and to emphasize the importance of unity among people from different cultures. “The gesture was meant to convey a message of goodwill to listeners from all countries,” the rappers said.

However, while the act was applauded by many as a positive and bold move, it also ignited significant debate on social media, particularly in Pakistan. Some users supported the gesture, calling it a step toward peace, while others criticized it as unnecessary or inappropriate. The situation intensified as many questioned the political implications of such a move, considering the sensitive relations between Pakistan and India.

On the other hand, Nepali fans were excited by the performance and expressed their appreciation for the gesture. Yunus’ act of holding the Nepali flag was met with enthusiastic applause, reflecting the positive reception from the local crowd. The duo’s performance was otherwise a major success, with the concert being described as energetic and memorable.

Despite the mixed reactions from Pakistan and India, fans in Nepal have hailed the moment as a “beautiful message” promoting unity across nations. This comes after a recent incident in which a fan threw a glass bottle at Talha Anjum during a live performance last month, which also went viral and attracted widespread attention and criticism.

Overall, while the flag-waving incident has stirred controversy, it has also sparked discussions about the role of artists in bridging cultural divides and promoting peace through their music.
