Shafqat deeply hurt by Pakistan backlash to national anthem slip
After Shafqat Amanat Ali's unfortunate goof-up during Pakistan's national anthem on Saturday's dramatic Pak vs Ind World T20 clash, the singer took to Twitter to express his disappointment over fans' displeasure at his lacklustre performance.
Shafqat denied forgetting the lyrics to the national anthem, saying: "I admit there were a few audio and technical glitches that may have sounded like lyrical errors... But I assure you that I had by no means 'forgotten' our beloved Qaumi Tarana."
"I see that many of you... believe I owe you an apology," he said, adding he was "deeply hurt by the little faith that my fellow Pakistanis have in me".
"I will still apologise, though," he continued, and asked Pakistanis to continue believing in the boys in green.
