Pasoori Singer Shae Gill Screams 'Pakistan Zindabad'; Faces Backlash for Anti-India Posts
Last Updated:
Pakistani singer Shae Gill's has been sharing anti-India posts on Instagram. Indian users expressed anger, urging authorities to block her account like other Pakistani celebrities.
Pakistani singer Shae Gill amassed a wide fan following in India, especially after the 'Pasoori' fever took over. Unlike several Pakistani artists whose Instagram profiles seem to have been blocked in India, Shae's account continues to remain accessible to Indian followers. Taking to her Instagram story, the singer shared an anti-India post, lauding Pakistan amid the growing tension.
'God bless our armed forces Pakistan Zindabad (sic)", wrote Shae Gill. Next, she dropped another post, lauding her country's media coverage of the tension, condemning India yet again. While the reaction of Indian social media users to her post couldn't be gauged since her sentiments were expressed on her Instagram story, our country's users on X expressed their furore over Gill's anti-India posts.
Ever since the tension started, Shae Gill has been dropping posts condemning India's revenge after the ghastly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives. Indian users have been blasting her on X, urging authorities to block her account in the country. A netizen dropped a list of list of Pakistani musicians and poets and wrote that he is going to voluntarily unsubscribing their channels. 'I used to admire and enjoy their work, and I still respect their talent. But for me, the nation comes first. Our Army comes first. At a time when our soldiers are protecting our borders, I find it difficult to support voices that openly praise Pakistan on social media. I've noticed that many fellow Indians still follow them, even after requests from our government to disengage. I urge you to reflect: Nation First. Always," read the X post. Another user urged the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in India to block Gill's account.
For the unversed, the Instagram accounts of several top Pakistani actors, including Mahira Khan, Hania Aamir and Sajal Aly, have been blocked in India. Other celebrities affected by the action include Ali Zafar, Ayeza Khan, Sanam Saeed, Maya Ali, and Iqra Aziz Hussain, who enjoy a wide fan following in India. Indian users attempting to access the accounts are met with a message stating: 'Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content."

Newark airport videos: Delhi formally takes up matter with US Embassy
The Ministry of External Affairs has formally raised the matter with the US Embassy in New Delhi in the wake of social media videos purportedly showing an Indian national being handcuffed and pinned to the ground at the Newark airport. The Indian Consulate in New York has also been in touch with the US authorities to ascertain the details of the incident, as per sources. Posted on X by Indian-American entrepreneur Kunal Jain, the videos and photographs showed an unidentified young man being restrained by officers from the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD), the agency responsible for law enforcement across major transport hubs in New York and New Jersey Sunday night. Jain had tagged the Indian Embassy in Washington DC and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar in his series of posts. During a call from The Indian Express to Port Authority Police Department at Newark International Airport, an officer said that 'the PAPD doesn't get involved in deportations'. 'The Ministry has formally raised the matter with the US Embassy in New Delhi.

Pakistan COAS Asim Munir Invited To US Army Day Celebrations On June 14: Sources
Last Updated: During this visit, the US is likely to urge Pakistan to take action against terrorist groups targeting Afghanistan and India Pakistan's chief of army staff General Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah is scheduled to visit Washington DC, for the US Army Day celebrations on June 14, top intelligence sources have told CNN-News18. He will join other military leaders to commemorate the US Army's 250th anniversary. According to sources at the Pakistani Embassy in Washington DC, Munir is expected to arrive on June 12. During this visit, the US is likely to urge Pakistan to take action against terrorist groups targeting Afghanistan and India. The invitation appears to be linked more to the ongoing US-China rivalry and Pakistan's strategic importance than any stance against India. Due to Pakistan's close ties with China through initiatives like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the US harbours concerns about Pakistan's neutrality. Given the current geopolitical climate, the US is unlikely to view Pakistan as a credible or neutral mediator, said sources. This visit has also provoked political reactions within Pakistan, with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) planning protests against Munir's visit and labelling him a criminal. Pakistan is expected to seek assurances from the US regarding the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) operating from Afghanistan. Historically, Pakistan has sought US mediation on various issues, while India firmly rejects third-party involvement. The US prefers bilateral dialogue and is unlikely to alter its stance in favour of mediation, sources said. Pakistan recognises the potential debt trap associated with China and is eager to attract investment from other global powers. The country possesses valuable resources such as lithium, copper, gold, and rare earth minerals, for which it urgently requires investment. However, Pakistan is wary of potential colonisation similar to China's approach. The visit aims to manage the strained security relationship between the US and Pakistan. Pakistan will likely pursue its agenda on mediation in Kashmir and seek investments in its mineral resources. However, tangible outcomes may be limited, as India is unlikely to accede to any external demands regarding Kashmir. First Published: June 11, 2025, 02:37 IST

Rajnath Singh: Pakistan on UNSC anti-terror panel is like cat guarding milk
DEHRADUN: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said the United Nations Security Council 's (UNSC) decision to appoint Pakistan as vice-chair of its anti-terror panel was like "asking the cat to guard milk". The UN decision is not only surprising but also raises a question mark over the seriousness of the global body in the fight against terrorism, he said. Calling upon the global community and organisations, such as the United Nations, to think on issues like terrorism more seriously, he said, "Only when we are free from terrorism, will we be able to move towards the goal of global peace, progress and prosperity." Singh, addressing a dialogue on 'national security & terrorism', said, "India and Pakistan gained independence at the same time. Today, while India is recognised as the 'mother of democracy', Pakistan has emerged as the 'father of global terrorism'." Addressing a dialogue on 'National Security & Terrorism', here, he described Operation Sindoor as the biggest action taken against terrorism in Indian history, and that it was carried out in response to the terror attack on innocents in Pahalgam. He advised Pakistan to seek India's help if it is unable to take action against terrorism on its soil.
