ISLAMABAD – Pakistanis have taken a strong exception to narrowmindedness ofIndia in the aftermath of Pulwama attack and have started a campaign toboycott Indian music applications as well.
Hours after Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan sent a strong message toIndia that the nation was ready to retaliate in case of any attack,Pakistani youngsters started deleting ‘developed in India’ music apps fromtheir phones, precisely, Saavn and T-Series among others.
Dozens of social media activists are now urging the countrymen to preferindigenous Patari music application over Indian applications, to give abefitting reply to T-Series in particular.
T-Series, an Indian music record label, had removed the songs of Pakistanisingers from its youtube channel on account of Pulwama attack – as Indiapinned blame on Pakistan for the event without any credible evidence.
The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), an ultra-nationalist Indian politicalparty, had called on all music label companies to stop working withPakistani singers, however, T-Series succumbed to the pressure very soon.
T-Series had collaborated with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Atif Aslam for twodifferent singles, however, the firm pulled down the songs in the face ofrising threats.
