Adnan Sami faculties Andhra CM YS Reddy over ‘Telugu Flag’ comment on RRR’s win

On Wednesday, January 11, director SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus ‘RRR’ bagged the Best Original music trophy for its music ‘Naatu Naatu’ on the 2023 Golden Globes. As the nation rejoiced over the spectacular win, singer-composer Adnan Sami schooled Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for selling regionalism together with his ‘Telugu flag’ comment for congratulating the ‘RRR’ workforce. 

Quoting CM Jagan’s tweet, Sami wrote, “Telugu flag? You mean the INDIAN flag right? We are Indians first & so kindly stop separating yourself from the rest of the country…Especially internationally, we are one country! This ‘separatist’ attitude is highly unhealthy as we saw in 1947!!! Thank you…Jai HIND!”

Telugu flag? You imply INDIAN flag proper? We are Indians first & so kindly cease separating your self from the remainder of the nation…Especially internationally, we’re one nation!
This ‘separatist’ perspective is extremely unhealthy as we noticed in 1947!!!
Thank you…Jai HIND!🇮🇳 https://t.co/rE7Ilmcdzb
