Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum has become the centre of a heated online debate. A video from his concert in Kathmandu, Nepal, shows him raising the Indian flag on stage. The clip spread quickly across social media and sparked strong reactions from people in both countries.

After the criticism, Anjum spoke openly on social media. He said he did not believe in hatred. He said that art has no borders. According to him, the flag gesture was not political. He added that if the act created controversy, he would still do it again. He said he would not be influenced by governments, media or propaganda.

The debate grew as more clips from the show appeared online. Many Pakistani users condemned Anjum’s action. Some said India had openly shown hostility toward Pakistan and questioned why he would raise its flag. Others reminded him that Indian platforms had blocked some of his content in the past. A few users expressed anger by linking the act to personal experiences of conflict.

On the other hand, many fans defended him. They called it a bold move. Some said the flag did not define his loyalty to Pakistan. Others said artists should be free to express themselves without political pressure. Supporters praised him for staying firm despite the backlash.

The controversy continued to spread through X, Instagram, and TikTok. People from both sides of the border shared their opinions. Many said Talha Anjum had once again become a major topic of online discussion.
