Farhan Saeed compares India and Pakistan as Chandrayaan lands on moon

India marked its footprint on history yesterday when their third attempt at landing on the moon turned successful. The space shuttle Chadrayaan-3 landed on the south pole of the moon, making India the first country to do so, and the fourth country after China, USA and Russia to make it to the moon.

Pakistanis celebrated their arch-rivals achievement too, congratulating India for the fearless achievement.

Farhan Saeed took to X (formerly Twitter) to compare the two countries, observing that while India was progressing, Pakistan keeps deteriorating because of its refusal to talk about the issues that plague it.

“On #76thIndependance #India lands on Moon and most of us are worried about where #Pakistan stands & it’s future. The basic reason is we are not even allowed to talk about our shortcomings as a nation. That film/drama is banned that shows the true picture of our society…

labelling it as some kind of propaganda against our country. There is hardly , in fact no prime time programs that talks about or identifies the ‘real’ issues of Pakistan like education, feudalism and the list goes on.”

The former leader of the band Jal went on to slam politicians who continue to divert attention from important issues, and media anchorpersons who play along. “The priority/will/direction/strength of any Nation to achieve greater things is only dependent on the hunger of how they want to be seen/addressed in the world as a country,” he wrote.

3/6 In fact they show these spineless politicians lying in our faces everyday blatantly & shamelessly, making the entire nation believe that lying is ok and it ‘works’ and our so called ‘anchors’ sit there like a stupid brainless dumbfu** playing along,

The ‘Suno Chanda’ stated that instead of working together as a team, Pakistanis are more obsessed with wars or conspiracies, and how our existence as a country is threatened, which he believed proves that we’re not doing anything right.

5/6 When you motivate your people like that they all start working towards one agenda with all honesty, like one team , like one nation.
We unfortunately have been only told or motivated about wars , conspiracies.

6/6 We were always told how we are in danger as a country and our existence is threatened, well guess what , full marks for manifesting everything on us .
Today I as worried patriotic Pakistani just want to put it on record that I believe we are doing nothing right .

“I’ve been watching a space show these days.. it’s so so fascinating to watch fiction and then to know it’s now a reality for our neighbours is just incredible #Chandrayaan3 Congratulations India & lots of love to all of my Indian fans on this outstanding achievement.”
