Indian association asks promoters to cancel their show with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

Mongering Hate


After banning Mika Singh from any performance, recording, playback singing and acting in India after his visit to Pakistan last month to perform at a wedding in Karachi, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees, a film employees’ union, has warned through a notice the two Indian promoters – Karl Kalra and Nirmal Dhaliwal – to cancel their shows with Pakistani artist Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. They have also asked the promoters to cancel their contracts with the singer at once. The Federation also threatened the promoters by mentioning in the notice that, “In case if you don’t cancel the shows of Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and go against the sentiments of Indians, no Indian Artist/ Singer/ dancer/ Anchor, performer/ promoter would ever work with you anywhere in the entire world.” This is not the first time that FWICE pressurised artists to not perform. Earlier, they issued a notice to singers Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, and Kumar Sanu for performing at an event in USA which was organised by a Pakistani national.
