Pakistani singer Rabi Pirzada posts picture of herself in a suicide bomber jacket, targets Indian PM Modi
This is not the first time the 'pop singer' has invited controversy
Pakistani singer Rabi Pirzada, @FunRabi, has done it again! She posted a picture on Twitter wearing what seemed like a suicide bomber jacket and it was apparently a statement against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. And nobody is finding it funny in these conflict-ridden times.
"#ModiHitler i just wish huh. #kashmirkibeti [daughter of Kashmir]," Pirzada wrote in the caption of the post that has since been deleted.
However, a picture post from Monday of her wearing the jacket remains on her Twitter account. It reads: “Ultimately, it will be only one way with Kashmiri siblings. When UN mediation fails.”
She also uses the hashtag #ModiHitler in most of her tweets. After the post, she received severe backlash online for using her platform irresponsibly and hundreds responded furiously to the image, especially for inciting violence.
Pakistanis were unhappy with her promoting a negative stereotype, @rehmag7 tweeted: "You are reinforcing the image of terrorist Muslims, which the West and India accuse Pakistan of."
This is not the first time the ‘pop singer’, as she describes herself on Twitter, has invited controversy.
Previously, Pirzada uploaded a video and some pictures posing with snakes and cobras on social media.
Using the images and clips, she had threatened Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of dire consequences if he continued with “atrocities in [Indian-administered] Kashmir”.
Soon after, the Punjab Wildlife Department in Pakistan took action against her, for violating the law by keeping prohibited exotic animals as pets.
