‘Go to Pakistan’: AR Rahman Trolled for Comments on Lankesh Murder

AR Rahman was met with a lot of hate for his comments on social media.

AR Rahman, known for his powerful rendition of Vande Mataram and Maa Tujhe Salaam, said that if incidents like journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh's murder keep happening, it's not his India.

Sadly (and not surprisingly), the music maestro was met with a lot of hate for his comments on social media.

As usual, the bhakts used their favourite word for Rahman, “anti-national”.

Can't believe, AR Rahman is supporting the anti nationals! Had so much respect for him.
Sad.
