Hasan Raheem lashes out at India for celebrating attack that killed Pakistani child

Renowned Pakistani singer Hasan Raheem has spoken out strongly against India’s recent missile attack on Pakistan, sharing a powerful and emotional message through his Instagram stories and a video.

Hasan revealed that even before the current tensions, he had faced discrimination from the Indian entertainment industry.

“Before any of this happened, my fellow Indian artists were being pressured not to collaborate with me just because I’m a Pakistani,” he wrote on Instagram.

He questioned the growing hatred and highlighted the hypocrisy in public reactions.

“Where does this hatred come from? I honestly don’t understand it. We’ve seen many wars in our history, and so many mothers have lost their children because of people like this. God always values peace more, but if needed, we will respond strongly,” he added.

Reacting to the public celebrations in India after the attack on Pakistan, Hasan posted a video saying: “With all due respect to my Indian fans, and especially my Pakistani audience, I want to say one thing: the issue isn’t whether Pakistan was behind the Pahalgam attack or not. We asked for proof, and it was never given. These matters are beyond you and me. But what matters is that a child was martyred last night, and two civilians died.”

He added with disappointment, “From my room, I watched how your nation reacted; the happiness, the celebration. That’s what hurts. When the Pahalgam attack happened, every person in Pakistan condemned it. We called it a terrorist attack. We stood against it. But now, when Pakistan is attacked, people celebrate?”

He ended with a reminder to think before supporting violence: “We’re not just sitting here sipping tea. Last night, the world saw the true face of our neighbouring country; how moral and democratic it really is. Pakistan Zindabad.”
