On April 12th, BJP MLA Raja Singh announced the release of his new song on Ram Navami dedicated to the Indian Army. <\/p>\n

You can listen to Raja Singh\u2019s song here:<\/p>\n

My new song which will be released on 14th April at 11:45 AM on the occasion of #SriRamNavami<\/a> is dedicated to our #IndianArmy<\/a> forces. pic.twitter.com\/Es391cE2PT<\/a><\/p>\n

The song started with the lyrics<\/p>\n

“Seedha rasta watan, Dil ki himat watan, Apna jazba watan, Maan ki suchi lagan, Seedha rasta watan..<\/em>”<\/p>\n

While sung with great fervour, there was one small problem. The song had been copied word for word from a song written for Pakistani armed forces.<\/a> It is a song<\/a> released by Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), the media wing of the Pakistan Armed Forces, on March 23rd for Pakistan Day. Singh replaced ‘Pakistan’ with ‘Bharat’ and called it a song for the Indian army on the occasion of Ram Navmi.<\/p>\n

Here is a comparison with the Pakistani version<\/p>\n

Singh\u2019s musical release was immediately recognised by Pakistanis who called out the plagiarism and posted the original version.<\/p>\n

By the end of the day, even the official spokesperson of Pakistani Armed Forces joined in to mock the BJP MLA<\/p>\n

Glad that you copied. But copy to speak the truth as well. #PakistanZindabad<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/lVPgRbcynQ<\/a><\/p>\n

Ironically, Singh was in news in the past for calling<\/a> the old-city area in Hyderabad as Pakistan. The BJP MLA has so far failed to delete his tweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
