HYDERABAD: The Pakistan Army took a jibe at India, asking it to speak the truth after Bharatiya Janata Party ’s lone legislator from Telangana , Thakur Raja Singh , recorded a song for the Indian Armed Forces, which Pakistan said was copied from their anthem.The MLA, who is known for his Hindutva slogans, had earlier tweeted, “My new song which will be released on 14th April at 11:45 AM on the occasion of #SriRamNavami is dedicated to our #IndianArmy forces.”Singh, who was earlier touted to take on All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen ’s (AIMIM) Asaduddin Owaisi for the Hyderabad parliamentary seat, released a promotional video of the song on Saturday, which became viral.Soon, the Pakistani Army claimed that the composition was copied from a song released by its media wing on March 23 for Pakistan Day, and was written by Sahir Ali Bagga.Asif Ghafoor, the director general of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG-ISPR), Pakistan, retweeted Singh’s song with a comment. “Glad that you copied. But copy to speak the truth as well. #PakistanZindabad,” Ghafoor’s tweet read.Singh personally records songs every year ahead of Sri Rama Navami Shobayatra, which are played during the massive procession in Hyderabad’s Old City.Pakistan Army said the song, “Dil ki himmat watan, apna zasba watan,” was plagiarised and had replaced “Pakistan Zindabad” in the lyrics with “Hindustan Zindabad”.India and Pakistan have fought three wars, and their relationship is at its lowest since a suicide bomb attack in Kashmir killed 40 paramilitary personnel.While the local BJP leaders has distanced itself from Singh’s latest act, Raja Singh told TOI he had no idea that the song was originally from Pakistan.“I didn’t even hear that song. How will I know what those guys had composed. Maybe they copied my song as we compose song months before Ram Navami every year,” he said.
