In his detailed official statement addressing the rift with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Sahir Ali Bagga has taken the opportunity to provide clarity and context to his earlier remarks.

Bagga's statement delves into the intricacies of the situation, shedding light on the nuances and complexities that led to the public disagreement with Khan.

In his recent post, Sahir highlighted his pride in being a composer and emphasized his passion for promoting Pakistani talent globally. Bagga acknowledged Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's exceptional talent while expressing his role in creating the immensely popular song "ZAROORI THAA." He emphasized the song's monumental success and the need for recognition as its creator. Bagga called for Khan to acknowledge his contribution and grant him the credit he deserves. He clarified that his intention is not to defame anyone but to ensure that his rightful credit is given.

Bagga's plea for acknowledgment stems from a desire to protect the rights of aspiring artists who look up to him as a role model.

Take a look:

Earlier, the singer temporarily expunged his extremely ‘heated’ words about fellow singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, but ‘unapologetically’, after acquiring considerate persuasion from another star, fellow Ali Zafar, who has reminded Bagga to'maintain the spirit of Ramadan’ by avoiding badmouth about others.

It appears that Bagga's frustration is difficult for him to contain, as he revisited the issue in a subsequent post after initially removing it.

Here is the original post that sparked this controversy and became the center of attention.

Netizens are questioning Sahir, wondering why he is bringing up this issue now, nine years after the song was released. They criticized him for not caring earlier when he didn't anticipate the song's success, but now that it has become a massive hit, he is suddenly fighting for his rights.

The online community is expressing their skepticism about the timing of Sahir's actions, suggesting that his current stance may be driven more by the song's popularity than a genuine concern for credit and recognition.
