AP min hits back at Adnan for lashing out at CM
"We take great pride in our identity, culture, and language. And once more, I declare, WE ARE TELUGU. You have no right to judge our patriotism, @AdnanSamiLive "The minister tweeted. He continued, "My pleasure in being telugu does not diminish my identity as an Indian. Many twitter users, who defended the andhra pradesh Chief minister and reminded him that being proudly telugu does not make one less indian, criticised the artist for his remark.
"You wouldn't have come up with your nationalism cliches if you could only read the underlying feelings of a Telugese expressing his ethnic pride. Being regional does not make us any less indian than any of our Northern colleagues, nor does it foster fissiparous inclinations "a netizen wrote. Sami countered, "By your reasoning, being indian doesn't make you any less regional."
