The Shiv Sena on Wednesday defended its stand on opposing the musical concert of Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali, saying that his party is against terrorism spread by Islamabad, and not the singer.
“We are not opposing Ghulam Ali but opposing terrorism by Pakistan. Shiv Sena is against keeping any relations with Pakistan till the time they stop terrorism,” Sena leader Sanjay Raut told ANI here.
” Ghulam Ali’s concert will take place when Pakistan stops terrorism and improve relationship with India. Yesterday, also four of our soldiers were killed. Till the time it continues, how can you talk about holding a musical concert?” he asked.
The Shiv Sena Chitrapat Sena, the cine wing of the Shiv Sena has sought to cancel the show of the Pakistani singer in Mumbai, scheduled on October 9.(ANI)
