MUMBAI - Popular singer Adnan Sami has claimed that his staff members were mistreated and called "Indian dogs" at the Kuwait airport immigration. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj took notice of the issue.

Adnan, who was in Kuwait for a live performance, drew attention to the matter via tweets.

“We came to your city with love and our Indian brethren embraced us with it. You gave no support. Kuwaiti airport immigration mistreated my staff for no reason and called them ‘Indian dogs’! When you were contacted, you did nothing! How dare the Kuwaitis behave like this with arrogance,” Adnan tweeted to the Indian Embassy in Kuwait.

Later, he also tagged Union Home Affairs Minister Rajnath Singh and Sushma Swaraj.

Swaraj acknowledged Adnan’s message, and asked him to contact her over the phone. Adnan thanked her for the prompt reply.

Sami previously held a Pakistani passport and received Indian citizenship in 2015. - Agencies
