New Delhi: The Congress has questioned the government’s decision to give Padma award to singer Adnan Sami.

Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill tweeted: “Why Padma Shri to Adnan Sami?”

He referred the case of army veteran Mohammad Sanaullah in Assam who was left out from the NRC. “Kargil Veteran Indian Soldier declared “foreigner” via NRC & son of Pakistan Air Force Pilot given Padma Shri – Is this New India?,” questioned Shergill.

The Congress has alleged that the Indian citizens are asked to prove their citizenship while people from Pakistan are given Padma award.

However, senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh hailed the Padma award to Adnan Sami.

Singh tweeted: “Congratulations to all Padma Awardees. I am very happy that Adnan Sami, the famous singer and musician and Pakistani Muslim immigrant has also been given Padma Shri. I had also recommended his case to GOI for giving him Indian Citizenship. He was given Indian Citizenship by Modi Government.”

Hey Kid!!!

However, responding to the questions raised by the Congress, the singer, who was born in London to a Pakistani Air force veteran, applied for Indian citizenship in 2015 and became a citizen of the country in January 2016, tweeted: Hey kid, did you get ur brain from a ‘Clearance Sale’ or from a second-hand novelty store? Did they teach u in Berkley that a son is to be held accountable or penalised for the acts of his parents? And ur a lawyer? Is that what u learned in law school? Good luck with that! (sic),”
