“These Dark Days Of Negative, Hate-Filled Rhetoric…”: Lucky Ali On What Will Happen On 4th June

As the country is set to enter the fourth phase of Lok Sabha elections on May 13, prominent Indian pop singer Lucky Ali today took to his social media platform, expressing his optimism for a “positive” political change in the country.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Lucky Ali said that on the 4th of June, the entire vibe of India will change to a positive one, and dark days of negative, hate-filled rhetoric against one’s own citizens will pass. 

“Come 4th of June and the entire vibe of the country will change to a positive one. These dark days of negative hate-filled rhetoric against one’s own citizens will also pass soon … InshaAllah,” the post reads. The Indian singer was referring to the mounting hate speeches and crimes in the country. 

Notably, it is not the first time the popular singer raised his voice against the hate mongers. In 2022, amid the global fury over BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma’s controversial remarks about Prophet Mohammad, Lucky Ali had shared a photo reading, “I love Muhammed PBUH” on his Facebook. Though there was no context given to the post, the comment section had then turned into a war mode, with members of different religious groups fighting one another. 

As many spoke supporting the BJP leader’s derogatory remark against the prophet Muhammed, many others flooded the comment section with ‘Jai Shreeram’

Lucky Ali then replied to a Jail Shreeram comment with “You are my brother,” earning the love and affection of the netizens. 

Lucky Ali, born Maqsood Mahmood Ali, carved his niche in the Indian music scene with soulful melodies blending folk, rock, and Sufi influences. His debut album “Sunoh” (1996) catapulted him to fame with hits like “O Sanam” and “Ek Pal Ka Jeena.” Lucky Ali’s distinct voice and poignant lyrics resonated with audiences. After a hiatus, he returned with “Gori Teri Aankhen” (2002), further solidifying his status. In recent years, Lucky Ali has embraced a quieter life in Goa, away from the limelight, where he enjoys painting and occasional performances, embodying the essence of a reclusive artist amidst the serene coastal backdrop.
