Titled Chaar Darkht, the song is a humorous tribute to the four trees Pakistan lost in the Balakot airstrike. He sings about fantastic tea and fallen trees while gyrating in a forest in the video.

“This is our celebration of Pakistan’s Peace Gesture, Diplomacy, and Goodwill. We will celebrate it as Fantastic Tea Day, where we stand by our decision of returning Wing Commander Abhinandan and averting a nuclear confrontation,” said the rapper.

He also mentioned having a lot of respect for men in uniform, regardless of which side of the border they were on.

“We have all the respect for armed personnel from any country, who risk their lives for the security and prosperity of their nations; whether they’re from Pakistan or not,” he added, reiterating that returning a captured pilot and encouraging peace was a sign of courage and victory on his country’s end.

“While war-mongering media outlets may think of this as our weakness, we perceive it as our strength, henceforth we now celebrate 27th Feb as ‘Fantastic Tea Day’.”

Soon after the song released, appreciation poured in for the rapper on social media.

Meanwhile, hashtags like #HappyAirStrikeDayIndia, #BalakotAirStrike, #Abhinandan and #SurpriseDay are trending on Twitter Pakistan. Australian journalist, Dennis also jumped in on the occasion and is celebrating the World’s Biggest Tea Party.

In March 2019, Indian Air Force (IAF) Wing Commander Abhinandan, who was captured by Pakistan after his MiG 21 Bison aircraft was shot down by a Pakistan Air Force jet, was handed back to his country as a gesture of peace at the Wagha Border.

A video was then released by Inter-Services Public Relations showed the officer conversing with military officials in a congenial environment and acknowledging that he has been treated well. “I hope you like the tea?” a Pakistani officer had asked him, to which Abhinandan replied that: “The tea is fantastic, thank you.”

Pakistan was hailed across the world for demonstrating responsible behaviour and averting a nuclear confrontation.
