However, many netizens are criticising the singer for performing at this moment in time. One Instagram user wrote, "Ataf Aslam has enough influence to cancel any show if he truly wanted. This is not a sacrifice for Pakistan-it's a choice, and it's clearly for money, not the nation."
The performance was Atif Aslam's personal decision, which does not deserve such criticism. If fans understand that the artist is experiencing a personal hardship, they should be more sympathetic towards him.
