Pakistani singer Rabi Pirzada threatens Modi with suicide bomber gear on Twitter
Islamabad/IBNS: Pakistani pop singer Rabi Pirzada created an internet sensation when she posted a photo on Twitter what appeared like a suicide bomber jacket with a threat to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi even as the two nuclear-armed neighbours simmer over Jammu and Kashmir.
On her Twitter handle @FunRabi she posted the picture and wrote: "#ModiHitler i just wish huh. #kashmirkibeti [daughter of Kashmir]". The posts were deleted since.
She also used the hashtag #ModiHitler like in most her tweets and had earlier uploaded a video with snakes and cobras on social media to threaten Modi.
Meanwhile, her latest post has not gone well with the Twitterati even in Pakistan and many are angry that she is reinforcing the image of Pakistan as a country of radicals.
One with the Twitter handle @rehmag7 posted as reported in a daily: "You are reinforcing the image of terrorist Muslims, which the West and India accuse Pakistan of."
Rabi Pirzada has, however, only a little over 1000 Twitter followers.
Wikipedia mentions Rabi Peerzada (Pirzada) as a Pakistani pop singer, television host and daughter of a former Pakistani army officer, Major Humayun Pirzada.
India and Pakistan are bickering over Kashmir as the latter is trying to internationalise the Kashmir issue after the Modi government abrogated Article 370 that had granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
