Pakistani theatre actor Hamza Ali Abbasi made a shocking declaration about himself and also about his fellow citizens.

In a tweet, the actor said: "I am very openly/proudly an ISI agent, just like more than 200 million Pakistanis.”

His startling tweet came after an Indian news channel broadcast reported that he is an undercover agent of the Pakistani intelligence agency.

"So that over actor and war monger for ratings guy Arnab/his channel declared me an undercover ISI agent! Let me clarify, i am not an "undercover" ISI agent, i am very openly/proudly an ISI agent, just like more than 200 million Pakistanis are proud ISI agents!" Abbasi had tweeted on Wednesday, which happened to be 14 August which is Pakistan's Independence Day. He ended the tweet with a hashtag "#15thAugustBlackDay" on a day when Indian Twitter users trended #14AugustBlackDay on the micro-blogging website.

Abbasi, in his subsequent posts, targeted Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and wrote about 'RSS-BJP ideology'.

On many occasions, the actor has been spotted with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan. While Abbasi batted for his country's unity, he, with his tweets, tried to provocate Muslims in the Indian Army, saying they should question their nationalism.

Pakistan had observed its Independence Day as 'Kashmir Solidarity Day', boasting harmony with the Kashmiris in the aftermath of Indian government’s decision of revoking Article 370 that provided special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and hiving the region into two union territories of Ladakh- without a legislature, and Jammu and Kashmir- with the legislature.  

New Delhi has strictly stated that all issues related to Jammu and Kashmir are purely internal.
