Adnan Sami, Omar Abdullah get in war of words on Twitter over Srinagar concert

Renowned singer and Music composer Adnan Sami held a concert on the banks of Dal Lake in Srinagar on Saturday, has raged a heated word war on Twitter against former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah.

An ugly spat on twitter started when Omar Abdullah had retweeted a tweet saying the lack of attendees at the concert.

“Empty seats at Adnan Sami Concert and we are past the scheduled Start time. PR disaster for JK govt led by @MehboobaMufti,” the original tweet had posted with pictures of empty seats at the concert. Abdullah quoted the retweet with “That’s a real pity. I hope people have filled those seats now. For an evening they can let the music transport them to a more peaceful place.”

Adnan Sami awfully struck back and tweeted “Bro ur a former CM..U shouldn’t be so unnerved by a music concert. U obviously have bad sources who lie 2 U - HERE are d photos!! #GrowUp”

After that, Sami's reply forced Abdullah to asked him what makes him think he is 'unnerved'. “How does hoping you have a houseful suggest I’m unnerved? I’m glad people got to enjoy an evening of music. I used to like yours at one time,” he wrote. 

Then again Sami has bombarded Omar with a string of harsh words. “Oh please Omar! U retweeting ppls photos like a sadistic sore loser speaks volumes of ur lack of stature & pettiness. Up ur game- Its music!,” he wrote.

Adnan couldn’t resist sending out another tweet. “Ur fickle mind shud know that its not about being a Star. It’s about coming together for the purpose of promoting peace, luv & harmony. GN,” he wrote.
