The celebrated artist, known for his soulful voice and chart-topping hits, performed at a large-scale event that marked the country's 79th Independence Day. While many attendees and fans lauded his electrifying stage presence, others took to social media to express concerns over the concert's timing and context.

Fellow artists also voiced their support and praise for Aslam's professionalism, including singer Meesha Shafi and actress Saba Qamar.
However, many netizens are criticising the singer for performing at this moment in time. One Instagram user wrote, "Ataf Aslam has enough influence to cancel any show if he truly wanted. This is not a sacrifice for Pakistan-it's a choice, and it's clearly for money, not the nation."
The performance was Atif Aslam's personal decision, which does not deserve such criticism. If fans understand that the artist is experiencing a personal hardship, they should be more sympathetic towards him.
