Funny thing here, the original song was produced by the Inter-Services Public Relations (the PR arm of Pakistani military).<\/p>\n<p>The song was released just in the run up to Pakistan Day, which fell on March 23rd 2019. And now, almost a month later, this BJP lawmaker has a song that sounds just the same (with some words substituted in the process).<\/p>\n<h3>High Level Trolling<\/h3>\n<p>Now if that wasn&#8217;t enough, a certain someone decided to troll the BJP lawmaker who posted the song on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Director General ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor was the one to point out BJP&#8217;s attempt at cheap creativity.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGlad that you copied.
