English singer Dua Lipa has recently debunked rumours of performing at opening ceremony of FIFA World Cup 2022, to be held in Qatar. There has been news that New Rules singer will be performing in FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Soon, her story went viral and people listed down times she visited countries that suppress basic human rights and labelled her a hypocrite.

A social media user said that Lipa performed in France where they are openly Islamophobic and banned hijab which is against fundamental human rights and in Dubai which follows same rules and regulations as Qatar. Another person said, “Dua Lipa visited India in 2019, year that India striped Kashmir of its semi-autonomous status, sending it into longest communications blackout, where thousands of Kashmiri Muslims were killed, arrested and tortured by Indian occupational forces.” Another added, “Queen of ‘human rights’ dua lipa herself performed and visited France twice or more this year alone although it is an Islamophobic country but it’s fine because Muslims (24.9pc of population) aren’t humans and they have no rights.”–Agencies
