Pakistani singer Ghulam Ali's concert cancelled in Mumbai
Mumbai, Oct 7 (IBNS): Renowned Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali's concert in Mumbai has been cancelled after the Shiv Sena, which is an ally of the BJP government in Maharashtra, raised objections on the same.
Reacting to the move, Ghulam Ali told NDTV: "I'm not angry but very hurt. I have always got love in India."
Shiv Sena cancelled the concert stating that the state cannot have cultural ties with Pakistan when their troops kill Indian soldiers, said reports.
The event was supposed to be a tribute to Indian singer Jagjit Singh.
However, the BJP did not support their ally partner.
Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi of the BJP told NDTV: "What the Sena is doing with Ghulam Ali is absolutely wrong. People like him must be kept above and beyond borders."
