It warns that, \u2018non-compliance will result in, without further notice: Filing of FIR and criminal prosecutions.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fans online have questioned this outrage. \u201cYou guys loved it when Sidhu moose Wala and others waved Pakistani flag,\u201d wrote one user. \u201cWhat&#8217;s wrong with this now?\u201d Another asked him to stand his ground. \u201cHe should never apologize\u2026\u201d they penned. \u201cIt was a goodwill gesture. It didn&#8217;t harm the country in any way. He should stand tall on his decision.\u201d However, some remained outraged and supported the notice. \u201cAmazing,\u201d one user wrote sarcastically. \u201cThey kill our soldiers, insult our country and all the goodwill goes to them? A really amazing step.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rapper sparked widespread online controversy after he caught an Indian flag from the crowd that was thrown towards him by a fan. The singer then raised and wrapped the flag around himself. After receiving backlash, the rapper was unapologetic about it. \u201cMy heart has no place for hate,\u201d he wrote on social media. \u201cArt has no borders. If me raising an Indian flag sparks controversy so be it. I\u2019ll do it again. Will never care about the media, the war mongering governments and their propagandas. Urdu rap is and always will be borderless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fans from both sides of the border were divided about this act. Some called out Anjum for supporting India despite its public hostility towards Pakistan. \u201cIndia is doing everything it can to spread terrorism in Pakistan,\u201d wrote one X user. \u201cThey even killed innocent Pakistanis, while Talha Anjum is busy lifting and wearing an Indian flag. India even banned his YouTube. What else can you expect from an Imran Khan supporter?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the singer\u2019s fans applauded his bold act too. \u201cWhat Talha Anjum has done is commendable,\u201d wrote one Indian fan. \u201cEven if he is done for views, he knows the repercussions that Pakistani people will hate for it still he did this.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talha Anjam has been served a legal notice by a Pakistani citizen after he adorned the Indian flag in a concert in Kathmandu in Nepal last week.
