Atif Aslam, who enjoys a huge fan following all over the globe including India, has sung a number of songs for Bollywood. The Pakistani singer was recently in New York for the Pakistan Independence Day parade but soon, a number of trolls slammed him for singing, ‘Tera Hone Laga Hoon’ from ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ an Indian song, at the parade.
Some Twitteratis said:
#AtifAslam shame for Pakistan. No apology on refusing to hold Pakistan’s Flag on Pakistan Independence Day Parade in New York. Look at this Pakistani handicap how is he dancing with one leg. https://t.co/VWt9QCATx2

Have heard Atif Aslam refused to hold the Pakistan flag! If true it is shameful indeed! Why wld he do such a senseless act? For commercial purposes? Disgusting! And I really liked his work too. But this act has destroyed it all.

Singer Shafqat Amanat Ali, a Pakistani singer who has also sung Bollywood songs, came out in support of Atif and wrote:
I stand in support with @itsaadee for singing his songs at the parade. Music is not Indian or Pakistani. It is just music! Singers r synonymous with their songs which r loved equally by fans from every country. Should have briefed him if they wanted national songs #AtifAslam
