Popular singer Adnan Sami has claimed that his staff members were mistreated and called “Indian dogs” at the Kuwait airport immigration. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj took cognisance of the issue, and told him to “Please speak to me on phone.”

Mr. Sami, who was in Kuwait for a performance, tweeted his allegations on Sunday.

“We came to your city with love and our Indian brethren embraced us with it. You gave no support. Kuwaiti airport immigration mistreated my staff for no reason and called them ‘Indian dogs’! When you were contacted, you did nothing! How dare the Kuwaitis behave like this with arrogance,” Adnan tweeted to the Indian Embassy in Kuwait.

Later, he also tagged Home Minister Rajnath Singh, and Ms. Swaraj.
