During a conversation with Times Now, Singh discussed his connection with Pakistan and his experiences during the visit. He recalled the warmth he received from people in the country and spoke about Pakistani Muslims helping maintain and look after Sikh shrines.

While discussing these experiences, Singh questioned why some Indians perceive Pakistani Muslims differently from Muslims living in Dubai. His remarks highlighted the contrast he sees in how people from different countries or communities can be viewed despite sharing similar religious identities.

Singh also said that Pakistan and its people should not be viewed as inherently bad, referring to the positive interactions he experienced during his visit.

The singer's comments come against the backdrop of the longstanding and often sensitive relationship between India and Pakistan. His remarks focused primarily on his personal experiences and perceptions of people he encountered during his travels.

Singh has previously spoken publicly about his association with Pakistan and its artists. His latest comments have renewed discussion around cultural interactions, perceptions of Pakistani citizens and the distinction between people-to-people experiences and broader political tensions between the two countries.
