A Kashmiri singer, Aadil Gurezi was kicked out of his Mumbai residence. The situation resulted out of peer pressure related to the Kashmir dispute.

While there is already a complete media blackout in Jammu and Kashmir to silence voices of dissent, people are doubling down on Kashmiri voices elsewhere in the country.

Aadil Gurezi is a popular singer on YouTube. He says he was evicted from his rented accommodation in Mumbai due to the ongoing Kashmir situation. All this happened when he returned from district Bandipora in Indian Occupied Kashmir.

His flatmates told him that he could not stay with them anymore because of the flat broker’s rules. The landlord said that he doesn’t want trouble amid the Kashmir dispute and Aadil couldn’t stay.

That’s when the singer posted a message on Twitter asking people to have compassion towards those that move in from other places.

People from different parts of India voiced support for the singer on social media.

The singer calls the central government’s decision to abrogate the special status for Kashmir responsible for all this animosity. Aadil Gurezi claims he wasn’t even indulging in politics. However, he’s accused of promoting fake propaganda against Indians.

Currently, both Aadil Gurezi’s Twitter and YouTube are inactive. All his previous tweets are gone.

Calling out Propaganda

While many were sympathetic towards the singer, some called this propaganda. They claim that Gurezi’s rent agreements being transferred from his name to his Hindu friend’s name has nothing to do with the Kashmir dispute.

Although, Aadil Gurezi stated that his landlord told him to vacate the place to avoid trouble due to the ongoing Kashmir issue. Even then some Indian Twitteratti are calling foul on the singer ‘unnecessarily dragging the Kashmir issue in his problem of accommodation‘.
