When Adnan Sami Revealed Why He Left Pakistan, Said It Would SHOCK Many: 'I'll Expose The Reality Of...'
Adnan Sami is in the news for replying to former Pakistan minister Fawad Hussain, who questioned his Indian citizenship.
Adnan Sami is in the news for replying to former Pakistan minister Fawad Hussain, who questioned his Indian citizenship. Recently, Hussain posted on X (formerly Twitter), asking if Sami would be sent back to Pakistan after Union Home Minister Amit Shah's order for Chief Ministers to ensure no Pakistani nationals stay in India after the Pahalgam terror attack. Known for songs like Kabhi Toh Nazar Milao, Lift Kara De, and Tu Meri Mehbooba, Adnan was born in Lahore, Pakistan. He became an Indian citizen in 2015, which sparked controversy. In 2022, he also criticised Pakistan on social media, showing his love for India.
In 2022, Adnan Sami had taken to Instagram, writing, 'Many people ask me why I have such contempt towards Pakistan. The hard truth is that I have absolutely no contempt towards the people of Pakistan who have been good to me. I love everyone who loves me- period. However, I have major issues with the establishment. Those who truly know me will also know what that establishment did to me for many years which ultimately became one of the big reasons for me to leave Pak."
The singer continued further, 'One day, soon, I will expose the reality of how they treated me which not many know, least of all the general public which will shock many! I have remained silent about all this for many years, but will choose the right moment to tell all."
Adnan Sami applied for Indian citizenship to the Ministry of Home Affairs in June 2015 after his Pakistani passport expired. Having lived in India for a sufficient number of years, he met the eligibility requirements for citizenship. In late December 2015, the Indian Home Ministry approved his request, granting him Indian citizenship, effective from January 1, 2016. In an earlier interview with the BBC, Adnan Sami shared that he felt threatened in Pakistan and was more concerned about his family's safety than his own. After a lengthy struggle with the Pakistani government, he filed a petition for Indian citizenship, which was granted in 2016.

Musk vs Trump Feud: 10 ways they can destroy each other—legally
When Thomas Anderson is first unplugged from the Matrix, his body convulses. His mind rejects the truth. 'He's going into arrest,' they warn, as his world crumbles. Because when you've lived too long in an illusion, reality doesn't just disappoint—it short-circuits you. That's where Elon Musk is now. He's been yanked out of the warm, binary womb of TrumpWorld. No more bromance tweets. No more wink-wink White House briefings. No more red-carpeted corridors of power where he could whisper about AI doomsday while nudging SpaceX contracts. Just cold, hard betrayal. And now? Now he wants revenge. Here are 10 gloriously real, absurdly powerful, and completely legal ways that Trump and Musk can rip each other apart—like Neo and Agent Smith in an alley full of bad ideas. 1. Trump Pulls the Plug on Musk's Federal Billions Trump, fresh off a fiscal sobriety bender and looking for budgetary scapegoats, has a new mantra : 'No woke space toys on my dime.' He's already floated cutting $3 billion worth of contracts to Musk's empire. That's not just pruning—it's taking a chainsaw to the money tree. Tesla loses its tax credits. Starlink gets kicked out of the Pentagon's good books. SpaceX is told to sit in the corner while Blue Origin waves from the Oval Office with a smug Bezos smirk. This isn't just defunding—this is strategic neutering. 2. Musk Threatens the Republic via Rocket Blackmail Musk didn't wait to be hit first. He threatened to decommission the Dragon spacecraft —the one that ferries NASA astronauts and lunch packets to the International Space Station. The unspoken message? Nice space programme you've got there. Be a shame if something happened to it. Suddenly, space diplomacy looks more like a hostage negotiation with a Bond villain in a Twitter hoodie. 3. Trump Can Yank Elon's Security Clearance Every time Elon boasts about top-secret briefings, there's an Air Force general somewhere crying into his gin. His clearance—granted through his role in military space launches—could be revoked with one swipe of Trump's Montblanc pen. Without it, Musk becomes a liability rather than an asset. He can still launch memes, just not missiles. And without Pentagon favours, his whole 'Iron Man meets Ayn Rand' routine collapses into a Reddit thread. 4. Elon Funds a Third Party Just to Spite Him In classic Musk fashion, the Tesla tzar tweeted a poll asking if he should start a new centrist political party. It was part libertarian fantasy, part MAGA middle-finger, and 100% chaos. Over 1.8 million people voted 'Yes.' Even if it doesn't win , a Musk-backed third party could siphon off enough voters to sabotage Trump's 2028 ambitions. Think Ross Perot meets a Neuralink experiment gone rogue. 5. Trump Targets Musk's Ketamine Chronicles Bannon has demanded a drug probe into Musk's ketamine-fuelled soirées, suggesting the billionaire is 'not of sound mind.' That's ironic coming from a man who looks like he was raised on moonshine and conspiracy theories. But in TrumpWorld, personal destruction is political strategy. Imagine Musk dragged into a Senate hearing with Marjorie Taylor Greene asking, 'Were you or were you not high when naming your child X Æ A-12?' 6. Musk Unleashes Epstein Allegations Without warning, Musk lobbed a digital hand grenade: that Trump's White House deliberately delayed the release of Epstein files because his name may have been in them. He offered no evidence—just vibes and vengeance. But in a country where 30% of voters think Wayfair sells children, that's enough to spark headlines, hearings, and hashtags. When Elon says, 'Mark this post,' he's not just trolling—he's threatening to turn on the lights in a room no one wants to see. 7. Trump Ends DOGE—the Bureaucratic Crypto Baby The Department of Government Efficiency, nicknamed DOGE, was Musk's vanity project: part startup, part prank, part Silicon Valley fever dream. Its mission? Replace Washington's bureaucratic sludge with blockchain optimism and quarterly reports. Trump could axe it tomorrow and return the halls of power to their natural state: clogged, confused, and blissfully analog. No more agile government. No more 'lean federalism. ' Just 500-page PDFs printed in triplicate. 8. Elon Withholds the Final $100M Musk had pledged a total of $350 million to support Trump's 2024 run. But the final $100 million is still hanging —like a Sword of Damocles in a cryptocurrency wallet. Trump, a man who treats loyalty like a Costco membership, doesn't forgive open wallets with closed zips. This isn't just about money—it's about respect. And Musk knows just how much Trump hates being ghosted, especially by someone richer. 9. Trump Questions Musk's Citizenship The Birther playbook is back. Bannon claims Musk is an 'illegal alien.' Never mind that Elon's been a naturalised American citizen since 2002. Trump doesn't need facts—just vibes, slogans, and a red hat. Expect rallies where Trump says, 'Elon? Great guy. But I'm hearing things. People are saying.' That's how the political meat grinder starts: with an innuendo and ends with a Senate subcommittee. 10. Musk Starves MAGA's Internet Starlink, Musk's satellite internet service, powers vast swathes of rural America—aka MAGA heartland. One well-timed update and Fox Nation stops loading. Steve Bannon's podcast gets frozen mid-rant. Truth Social becomes Truth Unavailable. Musk doesn't even need to admit fault. He can just smirk and say, 'Server overload. We're working on it.' MAGA may love him, but they'll riot if they miss Tucker's rerun. Final Thought: Welcome to the Unplugged War This isn't a feud—it's a glitch in the Matrix. Two megalomaniacs, both convinced they are The One. Trump, the spiritual father of populist politics. Musk, the meme-mad prophet of techno-libertarianism. They fed each other, validated each other, needed each other. But now the code is breaking. And if The Matrix taught us anything, it's this: when reality reasserts itself, the ones who rejected it scream the loudest. Musk took the red pill. Trump wrote the damn pill into law. Now they're locked in a fight to see who can bend reality back first. Only one can emerge from the simulation. The other gets ratioed on his own app.

3.69 crore houses for rural poor sanctioned under PMAY scheme: Minister
Panaji: Union Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications Pemmasani Chandrasekhar on Friday said a total of 3.69 crore houses have been sanctioned and 2.76 crore homes have been completed so far under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin "giving a concrete form to the dreams of the rural poor". "With an ambitious goal of 4.95 crore houses by March 2029, we have already made remarkable strides. Each number represents a family sleeping peacefully, children studying in safety, and elders ageing with dignity," the minister remarked. Addressing the regional rural workshop under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Gramin here, the Minister said: "When our villages prosper, Bharat prospers. Under PM Narendra Modi's transformative vision, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana embodies the true spirit of Antyodaya—uplifting the last person in the queue. A Viksit Bharat (developed India) is not possible without empowered rural communities." The Minister said the government is converging PMAY-G with flagship schemes like Ujjwala, Jal Jeevan Mission and Swachh Bharat to create holistic habitats, not just homes. This is ensuring that every rural family has access to clean water, sanitation, and clean cooking fuel. The government's vision extends far beyond bricks and mortar. Through mason training programmes, the government is creating an army of skilled artisans in rural India. This is economic empowerment in its purest form - creating jobs, building expertise, and ensuring that rural youth become the authors of their own prosperity, he said. "We are exploring Green Housing, where environmental consciousness blends with affordable construction, giving rise to homes that care not just for families, but for the planet itself. Embracing Artificial Intelligence in beneficiary selection, where technology becomes the great equaliser—ensuring that it is merit, not influence, that determines who receives support," the minister observed. He further stated that the government was aligning its policy with the Sustainable Development Goals, connecting local aspirations to global responsibilities, so that every village contributes to the progress of humanity. It was also reimagining microfinance and turning it into a powerful bridge to link rural aspirations with real opportunities, "empowering people to turn dreams into achievements". 'As we step into the Amrit Kaal, it is no longer just about numbers—it's about quality, sustainability, and long-term impact. By embracing innovation, data, and inclusive financing, we can shape rural development. Every family that moves from a kutcha to a pucca house with effective convergence is taking a step toward national transformation,' he added. Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, state Rural Development, Culture, and Sports Minister Govind Gaude, along with senior officials from the Central and state governments, were present on the occasion
