NEW DELHI: After Raj Thackeray lead ‘Maharashtra Navnirman Sena’s (MNS) gave a 48-hour ultimatum to all the Pakistani artistes of leaving the country, Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal have reportedly written a letter to Bengaluru police to not allow singer Shafqat Amanat Ali to perform at a concert.
According to ANI, VHP and Bajrang Dal are seeking a ban on Shafqat’s performance which is scheduled to take place on tomorrow (Friday) in Bengaluru.
MNS sought a ban on all Pakistani artistes working in India over the deadly Uri attacks in Jammu & Kashmir which took away the lives of over 18 Indian army personnel.
