Adnan Sami slams Congress spokesperson for opposing his Padma Shri honour: Hey kid, did you get ur brain from a ‘Clearance Sale’ or from a second hand novelty store?

On Saturday the prestigious Padma awards were announced and musician Adnan Sami was one of the recipients of the Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award. Opposing the same, Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill shared a PTI story which quoted him, "Kargil War veteran and retired army officer Mohammad Sanaullah who fought for India declared 'foreigner' after NRC and Adnan Sami whose family fought against India honoured with Padma Shri -- This is the magic of NRC and government chamchagiri!".
Slamming the statement, Adnan Sami shared on Twitter,"Hey kid, did you get ur brain from a 'Clearance Sale' or from a second hand novelty store? Did they teach u in Berkley that a son is to be held accountable or penalised for the acts of his parents? And ur a lawyer? Is that what u learned in law school? Good luck with that! (sic).”

Replying to it, Jaiveer shared, “Uncle,i can reply in ur language but “Indian” culture teaches us to be respectful even to our enemies-u jumped border only recently so guess ur still learning. Objection is to Policy of declaring Indian Soldier as foreigner & giving award to family of a Pak soldier.”

Apart from Adnan Sami, actress Kangana Ranaut as well as filmmaker Ekta Kapoor and Karan Johar were among the 118 Padma Shri awardees announced on the eve of Republic Day.
