Fans took a sigh of relief when the likes of Sana Amjad and Shoaib Chaudhary resurfaced on their Youtube channels on 21st January. Till then, the rumors were being spread that both Youtubers were hanged by the Pakistani authorities as they usually make content which shows India in a good light when compared to their own country.
Did you know that Sana Amjad once openly stated her desire of Indian citizenship? Considering the inflation, corruption and lack of opportunities that Pakistan is currently facing, it doesn’t seem a surprise that even someone like Sana Amjad who has fame and money would wish to leave Pakistan for India. When asked whether Sana desires citizenship from India, she expressed in affirmative and also stated the reason why she desires to shift to India permanently. According to Sana, the situation in Pakistan has detoriated and if it continues then she may contemplate settling down in India along with her husband and family.
During a podcast with Farrukh Warraich, the host asked Sana Amjad about her opinions to shift to India if someone from Indian authority would present her option of Indian citizenship. The conversation happened as below.
Farrukh Warraich : – If someone from Indian authority offers you citizenship, then will you accept the offer?
Sana Amjad : – Sometimes, I talk to my husband that its time to shift to India. I have been working on India-Pakistan genre, but still there is a fear whether we should go to India? The family is fearful because these fears have been instilled into our brains. For 75 years, our politicians and elders have instilled this in our mind that India is not safe. We have talked to many Indian muslims on live podcast on streamyard. We have seen live footage of Namaz being allowed to take place in the Masjids. When you see such things, then your concept changes. If you talk about the current scenario of Pakistan, there is almost 48% inflation here and it has become next to impossible for middle and lower class people. Therefore, in such situation, if there is an offer about Indian citizenship, then we can think about it.
Sana Amjad opinion about Narendra Modi
The Pakistani Youtuber often makes content where she speaks about the progress of India as compared to Pakistan. In the podcast, her views about Narendra Modi went viral where she praised the Indian Prime Minister for his “Made in India” motive.
“He is a good Prime Minister. He has taken India to new heights in his two tenures. We say that he is a Chai Wala but I think there should be 2 -4 ChaiWalas like him in Pakistan also. He has straightened the crooked in his country.” Sana said during the podcast with Farrukh Warraich.
“When Narendra Modi came in power, he ran the campaign of Made in India. Today because of that campaign, India is able to manufacture weapons, missiles, cars. Even Iphone manufacturing is now being done in India. There are so many Chinese companies who have shifted their production base to India. Everything is now being manufactured in India.”
There has been talks amongst Pakistani Youtube community about the repurcussions of making content which shows India in good light. Many believe that many Youtubers were picked up, interrogated and threatened who were making content showing India in positive image and Pakistan in the negative image.
The podcast is one year old but is gaining traction on social media as Sana had clearly presented her pro-India stance when it comes to living permanently for a better quality of life. In the same podcast, Sana even revealed that she had been called by ISPR multiple times regarding the topics where she shows India in a positive light. Sana stated while she has been called multiple times, nothing of fear or threat has ever been conveyed to her by any Pakistani authority.
