Anu Malik gets EXPOSED for copying Israel’s national anthem in his 1996 song; Twitter had a field day

On Monday, Israel’s first gold medal at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics 2020 landed Anu Malik on the Twitter trends list. As per traditions, the Israeli flag was raised and their national anthem, Hatikvah, was played after Israeli gymnast Artem Dolgopyat won the country’s first-ever Olympic medal in artistic gymnastics. However, when it was discovered that Anu Malik composed song Mera Mulk Mera Desh from the film Diljale is actually a copy of Israel’s national anthem, Indian Twitter had a field day creating memes and cracking hilarious jokes.

The video of Israel’s national anthem at the Tokyo Olympics went viral instantly, with many viewers pointing out that Anu Malik, who has previously been trolled for plagiarizing music, has done it once again.
