Adnan Sami furious over father’s name being dragged in Padma Shri controversy, said- ‘For his country …’
The controversy started as soon as Adnan Sami’s name was announced for the Padma Shri award. The Congress and other opposition parties are continuously opposing the award of Padma Shri to Adnan. On Sunday, Congress spokesperson Jayveer Shergill said that why the son of a Pakistani Air Force officer who fired on India is being given a book? At the same time, BJP is continuously supporting Adnan on this. Adnan himself has come forward on the politics of his father.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Adnan said, ‘My father was a fighter pilot of Pakistan in the 1965 war. He did his duty for his country. He was also honored for his patriotism. Which world has such a practice? You blame a son on his father’s actions. Whatever it is in the world in my existence, it does not have any effect in my life, because it is an old song or ‘Some people will say it is the work of the people.’ You can never please everyone. ‘
What had Congress said?
Congress spokesman Jayveer Shergill verbally attacked Adnan. Jaiveer had said, ‘Our soldier and former army officer Mohammad Sanaullah, who was involved in the Kargil war, was declared an intruder. At the same time, Padma Shri is being given to the son of a Pakistani Air Force pilot fighting a war against India. This is the magic of glorifying the NRC and the government.
Adnan replied
Adnan retweeted Jaivir’s tweet, writing, ‘Children, have you brought your mind to the clearance cell or bought it from the Second Hand Novelty Store. Have you been taught in Berkeley that the son is responsible or entitled to punishment for the acts of parents? And you are a lawyer? Is this what you learned from law school? Best wishes for this.
BJP shrugged off Sonia Gandhi
BJP leader Sambit Patra, after giving a Padma Shri to Adnan Sami at a press conference, said that the opposition is opposing the award of Padma Shri to Adnan because his father was in the Pakistani Air Force. If so, then Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s father was associated with dictators Mussolini and Hitler, then why was he given citizenship of India?
