Music company T-series got in a bit of a trouble recently, for releasing a song sung by Pakistani singer Atif Aslam.
Kinna Sona from the movie Marjaavaan had to ultimately be made private by the company’s YouTube channel.
All of this happened because a section of people on Twitter didn’t want a Pakistani artist to be promoted in India and soon, #TakeDownAtifAslamSong started trending on the social media platform.
I WILL SUPPORT THIS TREND !!! I know how great atif aslam is but we have best singers in bollywood why we need singer from pakistan ??? There are lot off talented singers in india why to import from pak. @TSeries@MNSAmeyaKhopkar#TakeDownAtifAslamSong

Seeing the outrage, the channel decided to set the song on private. Which, in turn, angered Atif’s fans.
#istandwithatifaslam I’m not in favour of take down Atif song like seriously Yahi log nepo ki baat kar rahe the? Talent dabane ki baat kar rahe the? Atif nei desh ka kuch nhi bigaada h he’s a singer.. And music has no nation.

The song can still be heard on Atif YouTube channel.
